quilt show 2011

I spent my Friday at the International quilt show. This show brings in quilters from all over the world. Some of the quilts are there as award winners but mostly it's a lot of shopping. And by a lot I mean every sewing thing you could imagine.
I've been to the show only once before and that was 15 years ago so I was amazed at all the new stuff. But mostly I like to look for ideas. Different patterns and color combinations.
I had a great day and the best part was all free.(except my purchases) a friend from school offered 2 free passes, so I saved $10. Then a guard with the Astros let me park in their parking lot, so I saved another $10. And lastly, I met up with Jerilyn and the Louisiana crew, she had made chicken salad sandwiches and fixed an extra for me so I didn't buy lunch, so that was at least $10.....woo hoo quilts and bargains can't get much better.
