NY-Flaquilter

yes I am going and this will be my first time. I am so excited. There are 5 RV's we are traveling with and all the women are quilters and we all are going for the first time. What should we expect? Are there deals and in what? fabric, machines, books, patterns???

Pete

wouldn't miss it

You'll love it !! We've been going for more than 20 yrs. The deals vary, but there is everything under the sun for quilting. All the major machine dealers are there and longarms too. Antique quilts, notions, threads, wools and rug hooking too etc You will shop til you drop, but don't miss the quilt exhibits ! You need several days to see it all. They have package checks for $1 which I highly recommend. :)

Wear comfortable tennis shoes, you will be walking on concrete floor. Bring a bag to put your goodies in. DO NOT bring a purse. You need your credit card, drivers license, checks, glasses (if you need them), phone. Travel light. I used to wear a fanny pack, but don't do that anymore either. Too much trouble when you have to potty. I take a tote my niece made me. It has a zipper pouch inside. Last year I wore a pedometer. We walked 6 miles in one day. So be prepared. And Have a great time. See ya there!!

Good advice & I believe the 6 miles ! I've learned to ONLY take a tote and use a little cross-body mini-bag just big enough for my phone, cash & cards. Good idea to bring a bottle of water and snacks. They have a food court for lunch, but we always take CHOCOLATE to keep us going ! Don't forget your camera & some Advil :)

Yes, I will be there. I live in the Houston area but this year for the first time I will stay in a hotel near the George R. Brown convention center where it is held. It is a wonderful show and people fly in from all over the world to attend.

well I'm all signed up for my classes, "Super Fast Binding & Piping" on Monday AM, "Paintstik Inspiration" on Tuesday AM & "Free Motion Quilting" on Friday PM

Yes! Yes! Yes! We should all put some type of quilted square/circular pin/tag on our shirts that we are QBs so we can meet while we enjoy all of the shows, vendors, etc. Maybe it can say "ARE YOU A QB? I AM!!!" I think I'll try to work something up! Look for me at the show!
