    We are usually there for about 5 hours and we don't have time to take a class. There is a huge area of quilts to look at and the several smaller areas of specialty quilts. The vendor area is huge, at least 250 vendors. Spend most of time looking at all the new things, patterns, notions and fabric. Mostly fat quarters, pre-cuts and panels, not much yardage. Love it. Wear comfortable shoes. Lunch is expensive. Have gone for 6 or 7 years. Have fun.
