Gadgets! Latest & greatest gadgets! They look great hanging on the wall! I don't trust buying fabric from some vendors unless I can actually feel the fabric. Too many times I've gotten home & it's very very poor quality fabric. Of course you have to look at all the quilts & critique them! Take pictures. T-shirts from quilt shows are most of my wardrobe! I probably have 25 t-shirts (can't wear half of them any more!) but that is the time I buy t-shirts. How many vendors? you definately have to do all the vendors. Send pics for us to see. AND ENJOY

I love vendor demos and seeing the quilts displayed in the vendor booths. The bigger the show the more prep you need to do. Wear comfortable shoes and take a big tote bag. Take some preprinted address labels. They will save you a lot of time when registering for give aways/door prizes. I bought blank labels to print adding my email address just to use for quilt shows. Be sure and get a business card from each vendor the card will come in handy months later when you remember something you saw.

Going with friends makes it even more fun.
Enjoy!
