    Default Schaumburg Expo

    I had never attended this Expo before, so have nothing to compare it to, but I was a bit disappointed. There are some cosplay costumes displayed, along with a good number of for the most part small quilts from group challenges, but almost none were what I would call traditional quilts. Most of the vendors had machines - sewing, embroidery and quilting. There was very little fabric available. I did manage to spend some money, of course, including a EuroSteam iron and a laser light. I’m very glad that events are beginning to happen again, though, and thrilled that my sister won a Brother sewing machine in the first day’s prize drawing.

    Lucky sister! I am also thrilled that shows are coming back! We had one here in my town and it was a good one. Smaller and not a lot of quilts to look at but wonderful to get out and be among quilters again! And i also did my share to support them!! I want it to be worth their time to travel!!!

    Worth the trip when your sister wins a machine! I think it will take a while before the big shows start to gear up.

    I haven't been to an expo in almost 10 years . I can't wait for one to show up in our area again. I miss these big shows.

    She hasn’t decided what to do with it yet, since she already has 2 high-end sewing machines, 3 sergers and a long arm! It will probably end up being given to her granddaughter.

    Thank you for posting about the Expo. I considered going, but decided not to go as it’s a long drive.
