Report from Paducah

Even with all the laughter and fun of being with good friends who share a common interest, Paducah proved to be a grand disappointment this year.

Maybe my expectations from former years' experiences were too high, maybe all the heartache and frustration of losing reservations (again) was too much to bear, but no a/c in the Convention Center and fighting too many people to get an "up close and personal" look at ANYTHING was just too much for me this year.


I won't be going back to Paducah for the AQS Show. We did find out that the show in Nashville this year will be moved to Knoxville in 2009. That's a much closer location for travel and will offer as much as I can stand in a quilt show, so that's probably where I'll be in August of 2009.

Hi Margaret,

I am checking your blog to see how Paducah was this year. I am sorry that you didn't have a good time.

Thanks, Angela. Sometimes life goes that way, you know? I guess it's all about growing, expanding our horizons, and changing directions in our journey. At least I'll not have the stress of Paducah to contend with anymore.
