I went to the Grand Rapids show this year. I only stayed for 4 hours which was enough. It was at the end of the last day so got a whole bolt of batting for $5/yd as she didn't want to haul it home. DH was impressed with sunshine 16 and said he would save for one. He has back problems so tried then bought a tingling (?) pillow which he says helps. Bought a expensive block loc 1/2 triangle square up ruler and some thread. I did like looking at the art quilts. I don't think I could spend a whole day there. I would have liked to see a sew ez table and a Baily but they weren't there. I thought there were more than enough vendors as so many were similar.
