I went to our local quilt show 2 years ago, I was working there that day and when hubby came to pick me up I told him the new Bernina 830 was being shown in the back corner , I had bought the 440QE not quite a year before, my hubby was so intrieged by the machine , he bought it for me, the vender bought the 440 back for every dime I had put into it , now we have another show coming up in a few weeks, wonder what he will do this year, :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have to admit I went to a Quilt Show and bought nothing. I volunteered to work at the quilt here in Bloomington, did my "shift", went home with a free ticket and crawled into bed. I had the flu and spent the week-end in bed. :cry: Maybe you need to ask your friends how they managed not to buy.

The only thing I've ever felt I spent 'foolishly' at a Quilt show is the entrance fee... But I go every time! I finally learned to take a specific amount, leave all my cards at home.... and always wish I had brought more money!!!!
