Ive been told that a lot of what we see is just old stuff that is already out that the new stuff wont come out till later in the year? So I am confused!! Help!!

You can have a great time without spending much or you can go hog wild. I have only been once, but I enjoyed taking on a category of quilts and really seeing them all. I still love the pictures I've taken, many closeups. The best free class for me was the square in a square class, but there lots of others; you just sign up the day of the class. Also, I hope you will come by Quilts Beyond Borders, I'll have pic of our recent trip to Ethiopi, aswell, the prior trip and our recent delivery to Haiti.

If you want a nice place to go after the show, head out the front, turn right, then turn right again at the end of the building. There's a wine place called Cork Soakers. http://corksoakershouston.com/specials.html
It's a great place to go and enjoy good company, food and some great wine. The lady that owns the place is really great! Last year, she had BOGO coupons at the information desk at the show.
Also, if you have too much to drink, they have a shuttle (just give a tip) or if the shuttle has stopped operating, they will call you a cab.
