I don't know how far west or north you are but the Gathering of Quilters is April 18th in Elkhart IN. It's located right off of the toll road.

Thank you for the info. I will be going to the DeVos Center in August. Thanks QuiltBoy.
SuziSew. I'm looking to purchase a new sewing/embroidery machine. Do you think they will have them at this show in April?
Thank you again

You just missed a show in Hastings this past weekend. There will be a very small show (no vendors) in Charlotte at the library March 21 and 22. There will also be an art quilt show/sale at Hankerd Inn in Pleasant Lake Sept. 20. Those are a little more mid-Michigan, but combine them with trips to quilt shops, and you have a nice road trip!

I live in Muskegon, about a west as you can go in Michigan. Our guild has a show coming up in May. It is May 8th and 9th. (PALS) I know for sure there will be vendors at the AQS selling machines. I personally love Lakeshore Sewing, with stores in Grand Rapids and Muskegon. They carry Viking, Babylock, and Bernina, offer classes, and have a great service dept.

1buzygma,
I have been to this show and enjoyed it. A good variety of levels of quilts even a section of work done by children as I recall. I will put this on my calendar for May and come visit again.

It's hard to say but it wouldn't surprise me if there were some. There is usually a really good vendor turnout and I think most of my LQS's will be there. If you decide to go let me know. I already have tentative plans to meet up with another member.
