What do you do first at a quilt show?
#31
I've only been to 2 small quilt shows so far, but I have like 3 stages. The first stage involves just a quick run of the vendors. Not really buying anything unless I see something I have to have right that second. Then I move on to looking at the quilts. And when I'm done with that I'll go back to the vendors and really shop.

Depends on the layout. I also ask first where the restrooms are, check out if they're in the front. I head for the quilts first, but if the vendors are in the way, I'll go down one row of vendors on the way to the quilts. Then the vendors, looking first, then returning to buy. But I would need a driving cart now to attend a quilt show. I wouldn't be able to walk that far, even with a walker.

Anyone heading to the Dallas Quilt Show this weekend? Trying to decide if I want to go on Saturday or Sunday. I really wish they would move it to the Dallas Convention Center. Since the Dart station stops there, I wouldn't have to ask my hubby to drive me. I do not like the thought of driving myself to the Dallas Market Square at all.

I always check out the vendors first. I try to get to the show on the first day it opens, first thing in the morning (or whenever it opens) so I can get the best selection at the vendors. After I've shopped, I then see the quilts.

It was a good show. My sister is in charge of our quilt show in October, so she was also interested in inviting vendors she hadn't contacted yet. That gave us sort of an additional "task" and may have influenced why we started with the vendors.
Enjoy the show, no matter which day you go. It was crowded, but that is the way it seems to be. Lots of quilters out there.
