Quilt Fiesta! January 22, 23 & 24, 2010
http://tucsonquiltersguild.com/quiltshow.htm
Tucson Convention Center
260 South Church Street
Tucson, Arizona
I try to go all three days, depending on whether or not I get through all the quilts ~ it has been growing each year and it's HUGE!
Friday's I visit the vendors being sure to bring two bags with me - last year I nearly ran out of room!! There are hundreds of vendors, really! Then, if time permits, I start looking and the drooling begins...
Saturday I take my camera and work my way through the quilts. I always purchase the CD but take my camera as there are always some quilts which I want close-ups of or a particular block in a quilt, etc. etc.
I'll go on Sunday (camera in hand) if I don't get to see all the quilts Saturday; otherwise, I stay home and drool over my purchases from Friday...LOL
EXTRA NEWS!!!
I am meeting up with two other Ladies from this board this weekend (1-16) for breakfast which will, of course, include talking about quilts, fabric, and especially where we'll meet when we get to the quilt show. I already know where I'm going for lunch while I'm downtown, too!!
Are you planning to attend? If you are interested PM me and we can talk
See ya there!

And/Or we could meet up at the Guild Table (right around the corner when one first walks in the doors) at a certain time on any or all of the days.
It would be nice to meet y'all and since I'll have my camera pictures would be in order ~ it's gonna be a great show!
Any takers??????
I didn't realize Lake Havasu had a show, but I certainly could put that one on my list ;D
This is Tucson's 32nd Annual and I even though I didn't start quilting until 5 or so years ago (still a beginner) I've been attending quilt shows for much longer! So much Beauty say nothing of the talent all under one roof!

I love the quilt shows, I take pictures every time I go to one ,I worked the quilt show this year here in Lake Havasu, helping put up and taking down the quilts, my husband came down to see the show and take more pictures, while he was wandering around he went to the Odegaards booth from Flagstaff, fell in love with the mechinesms of the new 830 bernina and ended up buying one from Charlie , I am learning to use the embroidery part ,having fun making bow tie purses and shopping bags, The latest Fons and Porter magazine has a very simple bag in it , using up some scraps, and making Lady Hawk vests, I love the Horny Toad one , I have it almost finished from scraps too :thumbup:

Alrighty...I'll be at the Guild table on Saturday at 10 AM :D ~ name tag and bells on my toes, watch for the dancing quilter...LOL
I'll be sure to include my screen name & Quiltingboard.com
Wish I had an embroidery machine now, could whip up a pretty name tag. Something for my wish list, maybe....right behind the longarm ... <WINK>
