I just got back from my 1st National Quilt Show at Columbus, Ohio last Friday, June 18, 2010 and was so much fun, my guild took a charter bus and we had a blast was almost 3 hours one way but was worth it
if you ever go to a show be sure to have good walking shoes, dress in layers, take a bottle of water with you and some snacks
If you go to any please post a note here. Thanks!

I attended the International Quilt show in Chicago..every year, and attend all three days to fully capture all that was there. It was a huge blow to find out this year they are taking the show to Cinncinatti starting 2011.
I can honestly say the inspiration that came from that show heavily influenced my own quilting . Probably the biggest influence was the use of color. I was so in awe at the magnificent quilts ...and then it dawned on me the one thing they all had in common was color use. I made a decision to "turn it up a notch", and challenged my self to be more exploritory in the world of color.
I also love having great vendors in one place , seeing all the great gadjets and gismos. I paricularly love the vendors doing demonstrations.
It was the highlight of my year , and always left each show looking forward to the next.
Just call me "still bumming in Chicago" .
