I went to this show today and there were some absolutely beautiful quilts, one of our local quilts won Best of Show at the Smokey Mountain Quilt Festival! She placed at Paducah! Took her 3 years to hand piece and quilt a Baltimore Album complete with ruching. So pretty.

We had 8 rooms of quilts! Miniature quilts, motion quilts, Star Quilts, Log Cabin Quilts, and a big gallery transformed into 3 rooms. Very delightful but boy, am I tired now! Happy tired! :-D

The cost is only $5 and there is a fabric shop across the street. Very good fabric prices. The quilt show program has a coupon for a percentage off of one quilting service performed by the long-armer that owns the shop. She is already cheap, ($80 incl batting for a queen) and she is good. The show is from 10-4.

If you are in the Corinth, Florence, "Shoals", Selmer area, it is worth the drive. Take your camera, they do allow pictures. And yes, there is a good Mexican restaurant, "El Picante" on Quitman. :D
