Was that the IMQA Machine Quilting Show? Man, I wanted to go to that soooo bad. It always looks so fun, and they have a zillion classes you can do, if you sign up early. Glad someone got to go.

so glad you got to go. My first one was Paducah this year, and I was the same way LOL

My hubby loves how my quilting makes me a happy girl. And his hobby is computers. Mine is usually cheaper. lol

There will be a great show in September, Fall Fun Fest Weekend, at Timothy Luthern Church on R.D. Mize RD. Twilight Stitchers of Blue Springs has this annually.
Also, there is or was s small show at Vesper Hall, this month.
One final show in the area this spring will be at the Mid-Continent Genealogy Library on Lee's Summit and Keiger coming soon. Call Library for exact date.
You have many great shows in the BS area.

it was. You have missed a great one. Today is the last day. I wish that I had gotten a full yard of this material that I had picked up. I only got a 1/2 yard of it and it wont be enough. I would try to talk my hubby into taking me to go and get the fabric but I can already tell you what he will say. NOPE Aint going to happen.
I will definitely have to check on those in Blue Springs and Lees summit.
Thanks for the heads up about the one in the fall. I am definitely going to be saving every dime I can for that show.

ANY quilt show is worth going to. I went to a small one put on by a local guild and salivated the whole time. So many quilts, so little time. Each one had a personality of its own. And the vendors were local as well. Got some business cards so I know where they are and when they are open. Ah, the fun of this hobby!

My friend and I were at Overland Park yesterday - sorry if we bumped into you while we were staring at all the beautiful quilts and fabrics.

I too liked the whole cloth quilts with some color applied - especially Pearls of Wisdom. It was a beautiful quilt and wonderful sentiment.

How did you like all the Lone Stars with the varied quilting designs - great way to showcase how the quilting affects the finished product (there were about 20 wall quilts, all the same fabric and pattern, just quilted differently).

There is also a show in Jefferson City June 5 & 6, vendors and over 300 quilts. Jeff has a pretty good guild so I'm expecting to see some nice things.

And Boone County guild is having a show this fall (don't know the date but it's usually one week either way of Thanksgiving). It will be at Stoney Creek Inn in Columbia. The last time I went to it, was amazed at the variety of quilts!!

If you come, let me know and we'll meet up.
