There are demos down by the food court. I think the list is in the book you get that lists quilts and venders.
There are also lectures that are about an hour long that you can pay as you go in. No advanced registration required.

bsquilter, thanks for that info. I guess the trick is to get the book as I arrive. I thought it would be available online and haven't been able to find it. I will quilt worrying about that right now. I know from past experiences, we will shop and look till our feet give out. Looking forward to it!

This is open to anyone that passes by, no registration or cost. My queston - is there a list of these speakers and subjects available so that I can plan ahead and get to listen to something interesting to me? My time is so limited that I cannot attend any of the scheduled classes or lectures. I would love to take advantage of these small events. Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Pat, I was poking around on the internet this morning and found the following link: http://pokeysponderings.com/category...uilt-festival/. It lists some classes that will last about 1 hour and cost $10 each. Also, if you scroll down a little, there is a listing of the Craftsy classes that are planned and are free. I remember listening to a couple of these last year and they were located near the food area.

I am counting down the days...I will be driving down on Wednesday, October 30 and will be staying with family. My mother and I will be there on Thursday and Friday at least, but who knows...we may have to visit Saturday or Sunday (or both) as well!! Have fun!

It extremely hard to do the Houston Quilt Festival in one day. I go every year (since I live in Houston) and the last few years I've only been able to go for 2 days and it was hard to see and shop everything. This year I'm going 3 days (woohoo!) and plan to be able to really spend time looking at the quilts and exhibits.
