The Houston show is fabulous. However, they no longer allow rolling carts IN the show, as they trip people, but bring an extra piece of luggage if you think you will be buying a lot. I've gone several years but the walking will kill you. My friend and I usually start at one end and take periodic breaks in the eating area. There are very few chairs available for patrons. But on the plus side, there are lots of great vendors and it's very well organized by theme, so if you're into art quilts, you will see them all in one area. If you have other loves, they are well grouped. Have fun!!! See you there...

I am going with a quilt shop in Wylie, Tx. Wil be the first time I have not driven to Houston. Sorry, but you cannot have rolling totes unless you have a doctor's permit. Have taken classes before, but not this time.

I'm going for the first time this year. I live only about and hour and a half from Houston and my quilt guild is going by bus for one entire day. Yay...no driving or parking! I'm excited already.

It will have all the information you need, including admission prices, classes, supply lists, etc.
I live in Houston and so get to go every year. I have had some great classes and some not so great but it is a wonderful opportunity to meet people from everywhere and get to take classes from well-known peope in the quilting field. The quilt exhibits are unbelieveable! Lots of free demonstrations each day on the main floor of the convention center and the vendors are the greatest. Hope you have lots and lots of fun.

If you want to sew, be sure that it is included in the class. Some classes are demo only or just seeing the method and cutting fabric. One year we spent $90 on a dyeing class that a kindergardner could have done.
