    I was going to post a question about what to look for at my very 1st quilt show DH is taking me to in Houston this month but reading this post I seen some things I'd like to have so I made myself a list off of your lists to look for so I wont be posting my question but if anyone comes up with anything else I'm all ears!
    PS, Is the fabric there usually priced a lot cheaper than at LQS?

    In my experience, no, it is not a lot cheaper. A few vendors might have some stuff they've marked down, but they're there to make money, and it's not cheap to rent the booth space, pack and haul all their loot, pay for hotel rooms, etc. But there is tons to look at and drool over!

We could even list the products , and the best places to buy, or even places we'd like gift certificates for!
    I wonder if we could? Sure make gifts easier...

    My wish list right now would be a real design wall (I use the guest room bed) and either a ScanN Cut or Shilouette Cameo. But I'm getting a new knee instead....
    DH will be having his soon too...I hope you love it! Heal quick!

    Watch joanns fabric for when they have their ott lights on sale. I have bought several on sale for less than 1/2 price. I have heard but never checked that some of their bulbs fit in regular sockets

    I don't have a wish list for quilting. Nothing I want is that expensive I can't get, if I truly want it. I do wish I had more time to travel to the large quilt shows and take many more workshops.

    I have a low end Brother and a high end Brother, and this is what I have learned. You can FMQ on a low end Brother, just buy a "darning" or "FMQ" foot. They don't cost much, usually around $10 or less. Put your machine on a couple old mouse pads from computers to control bounce and vibration, and go for it! I believe in you. You can do it!

    I wish I had one of those Acqu-cutter Go machines. Of course, I dream about the new $500.00 ones. Cutting really makes the arthritis in my hands "sing".
