Pacific Northwest Quiltfest

Since someone mentioned the Seattle show, I thought I'd inquire about it
from the experts. I went to Houston last year & Paducah this year - I met
someone who lives in Seattle at Paducah & she said it's not that great of a
show! Could that be? I know it's every other year & I was thinking of
going next year - if it's worthwhile. (And does anyknow if I need to start
making reservations now?)

She's obviously been to a different show than the one I go to each time it
appears: the PNW show has some of the most gorgeous quilts each time I've
been there. It's juried, so it's not 10 quilts all done in the same
workshop, plus it always has at least one [and I think usually 2] special
exhibits. I've seen Welsh whole-cloth quilts; quilts from Australia, and a
special art-quilt exhibit.

I'm not usually all that overwhelmed by the vendors, [lots of the same-old
stuff] but I do thoroughly enjoy the quilts.

By all means go!

Thanks for the input. Will have to see if I can get a trip planned!
