NollR Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 With a daughter in college and 2 more kiddos looming on the college horizon in the next few years, I'm getting to do something that I thought wouldn't happen for a long time - I'm Paducah bound! I'm going with 2 lovely ladies who know their way around and both will have cars available. I'm going to help out some at the Pellon Legacy booth, but I'm there to enjoy and take it all in! I can't wait to see this show I've heard so much about and bring home lots of ideas and goodies for my business! Yes, I'll miss my family but they even told me I have to go and take advantage of this opportunity! Life is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o2b Quilting Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I am so excited also...I get to go on a bus trip to Paducah!! The great part about it is that my friend and I don't have to drive! We can chat, read, do handwork etc. Thought it would be years before making it to that show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenni Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I put a bus trip together when I lived about 5 hours away. It was the best time in my quilting journey so far. I was the host of the trip. On the bus going home we had show and tell. I had prizes for various things like the most unusual purchase etc. Going to Paduccah is something every quilter should do to at least once. Have a great time!

CWBowser Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Have fun. Pace yourself and try to get out to Hancock of Paducah and some of the other places they have quilts up. The city is amazing. I hope to go back someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NollR Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Well if there is one show that anyone who loves to quilt and/or sew needs to go to is Paducah! I had a great time and saw and learned alot! I came home with lots of goodies not only for myself but also for my business. Too many great vendors to mention not only in the convention center but throught the entire town. I also got to go to the National Quilt museum and Bryerpatch Studio and meet Caryl Bryer-Fallet-Gentry. She is a lovely lady and such a talented artist! Our Pellon legacy batting sold very well and was sold out by the end of the show. I also got to play on every long arm machine available ( I needed to get my long arm fix in since I wasn't home for almost 2 weeks!) How funny that amid the thousands of people I would run into Libby G from this forum at the show not once but twice in a few days - it was great to see a familiar face! I saw met people from all over the world , including a gorgeous gal in full kimono regalia! Finally the quilts were to die for - such talent and what an inspiration to us quilters! If anyone is interested you can check out LOTS of pictures of my adventures plus pictures of quilts on my business page on Facebook. Go to Phoenix Rose Quilts and enjoy! I'm very blessed to have been able to go and will get back there sometime in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
