I too went to Road, I wouldn't miss it and I don't live far from the Ontario Convention Center, so all the better. I also would not miss Long Beach in July either. These quilt makers are awesome, and I always come home with ideas and inspired again. Of course, I don't always get all my "ideas" started let alone finished, but I have used some of the ideas.
However, I didn't spend that much $'s this time, went and got what I "needed", not wants. I didn't take any classes this time either, were some I wanted to, but just didn't get on the ball and sign up.
Best of all it is a four day show, that helps too.
