There are several vendors there, but they are real picky on who gets to be there. No fabric or machine booths. There are antique quilt booths, quilt shelves and racks, food, T-shirts, things like that. The Stitchin Post is partly in charge and they are a quilt store with fabric patterns and yarn. So, they haven't allowed much competition with what they sell in their store.

Sounds awesome. Go for it.

Jean Wells pretty much keeps any competition out of Sisters... but did you notice this year that the shops from the Ontario, Oregon area rented a storefront and set up shop? With prices that knocked the Stitchin' Post to the dirt! I loved it! From what I saw, the Post wasn't hurting too badly from it, but I don't think many knew that the Ontario group was just across the street from Ace Hardware....

Thanks for the great photos! My DH and I were there last year and it was incredable! Well worth the trip! Just get your motel rooms early.

I did notice more vendors than usual. Looks like they may be easing up on the rules. It is a bit clickish. Maybe they won't allow the t-shirt place back if they noticed the prices.

Thank you so much for 'taking' me to the show. Its a long way from here. I am hoping to go to the Quilt show at Birmingham which is one of the premier shows in the UK. If I go, I'll try to 'take' you all also!
