What is your favorite part of going to a Quilt Show?
I have always been drawn to the Art Quilt category of a quilt show. I love to see the embellishments chosen to make the quilt shine! Of course, I love the vendors part of the show where you can shop and see the latest, greatest quilting tools and fabrics.

Same here. I love it all. It is exciting to go and see all the displays and the new quilting gadgets. It makes me want to get right home and make something.

I'm at the point where I don't really need or want anything, I have all the tools, gadget, and fabrics (mostly 😜 ) I want, so the vendors don't have too much appeal for me anymore. The most recent show I attended, the vendors were down a lot in numbers anyway. What I love are seeing other people's quilts and being inspired. Every time I go to a quilt show, I come home and work (play?) like mad in my studio.

Like everyone says the inspiring majic of the whole show. It is like you step though somewhere enchanted. I just love to stare at the quilts, place bids on the raffle table, talk to the quilters and buy at the venders tables. I don't think there is anywhere else that makes you feel quite like the hussle and bustle of a quilt show.

I’m also one who loves it all! I need a whole day just to look at all the quilts- then I usually still go through looking again as I’m visiting the vendor areas and the demonstrations are wonderful. There is nothing I could say I don’t care for at a show, I sure hope to one day feel comfortable going to another one.
