There has been so much to-do about copyrights lately that I'm getting skitterish.

As has been said above, ask at the table when you enter the show. Watch for signs that may say "no photography" and it's usually a no-no to take pictures of any vendors' booth.
Other than that - have fun! :D

I take pictures everywhere, however last year at the Houston show, the Russians and CHinese did not want pictures taken becuase they were selling them on a dvd. Otherwise, I have never had a problem. Asking it ettiquet though. Better safe than sorry. Have fun. I went to one in Stephenville today. No white gloves but they wore latex. LOL.

I always wonder, Yeah but what about the quilts you see hanging all out in the sun in big quilt shows?? And under bright lights at indoor shows??
But I agree, ask if there is any doubt and go with what the quilt owner wants.

This discussion brings up a question I've wondered about.
At big quilt shows (like Houston), as I am walking around to look at quilts, does someone taking pictures have any kind of priority? I felt rude if I was looking at a quilt and some one came up and wanted to photograph it. I felt like I should move out of the way even if I wasn't done studying the quilt. And it a show that big, it was a constant issue.
What do you think?

The photographer has to wait for you to move. You have as much right to be there. I tend to finish looking and then move, but not take too long. In big shows all the professional pictures are done when the show is not open to the public for that reason.
