Speaking of Chicago

I will be traveling tomorrow to the Chicago IQA show..my last trip to Chicago in the Spring, I guess. I so enjoy being able to drive to a show instead of flying..the cost is lower..I see quilters from my "neighborhood" and the accommodations are better for me personally.

Oh well..we will follow the show and see where it takes us. With IQA going to Cincinnati I will be able to visit St. Theresa's Treasure Trove...I haven't been there since I left Indy! I hear there are wonderful small art galleries there as well.

BBD Creations is ready for this show..we have several new things to offer customers..our booth number has changed..we are up the first row a bit and toward the back..come look for us.

I will be spending a bit of time in the Museum's booth just inside the front door as well. Come talk to me about the exciting news of groundbreaking and our last push to make 1.3 million dollars. We are sooo Cllooossse! Only $200,000 and we are digging earth!

Chicago IQA is moving in 2011

Just received word this morning that the Chicago IQA will be moving to Cincinnati next year. After 8 years in Chicago, Rosemont to be more exact, the show will pull up roots and move to Cincinnati, OH. It will also be a bit earlier..I believe the first week in April as opposed to this time (second-third week).

Don't know exactly why they are moving..maybe the fact they can be a bit earlier than Paducah? maybe cost of Chicago show, they appeal to surveys that state the consumer wanted a different venue, more restaurants, better accommodations.

This will be an interesting move..will they lose or win..that has yet to be determined. Stay tuned
