BTW I gave out a dozen or so Guild cards to ladies today. So I hope we will see a few new members.

I wanna go too :(

I thought the quilt show was nice but! It keeps getting smaller. I went looking for YLI handquilting thread and continious line stencils. I had a hard time finding either. I got one stencil and two spools of thread and two pieces of fabric. I spent as much on admission and lunch as I did quilt stuff. Many of the quilts in the show I have already seen at other shows or in magazines. I didn't like the lighting either.
I got some really bad news. Those of you who have been to the Spring Show in Lancaster know it is one of the largest shows on the east coast. The lady who ran it for years is quiting. Unless someone steps up to the plate there will be no more spring show.
I like the shows because it is the only place you can shop from a wide range of vendors. We have a few shops within a reasonable drive of my home and accesable hours, but nothing local now with fabric except Joanns. As a handquilter I like to feel the fabric before I purchase. I have gotten a few things on line but that is always pot luck. The older I get the more reluctant I am to drive at least an hour to shop at a real quilt or fabric store. I fear in this economy quilting stuff will get even harder to find.

If you can catch a plane today, you can still make it in time for the last day of the show! Hershey Lodge looks like an very nice hotel, and of course there's chocolate.

Sounds fun, but I can't. I sure hope those who go will tell us all about it

It occurred to me that pics of some of the other quilts might be online already, so I looked posted the links I found farther down in her thread. Don't think anyone else noticed them, though, but take a look.

Thanks dearheart. I went over and saw all those gorgeous quilts..

I was at the show on Saturday. Hershey show is my favorite, though I do like Lancaster and will be sorry if it doesn't continue.
