<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Ohio has more quilt shows than almost any other state. (That is why NQA decided to finally have a permanent quilt show site rather than having the shows in a different state every year.)

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">It is the start of ‘quilt show season’ and we are luckily to have many fairly local shows to attend. (I’ve been to 2 shows and 1 Shop Hop in the last 10 days.) In addition, the quilt show owners go to the major shows and bring back lots of ideas, books, fabric and supplies.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Regina H is looking into getting a bus for us to the show in Lawrenceburg, IN. This is a great way to attend. Another way is for groups to car pool and/or car caravan to the shows.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Give yourself a challenge – at every show you attend be sure to find a new technique, gadget or hint to increase your quilting experie
