I am also going to review the individual classes I took, but here I am reviewing the vendors' mall.
This was such a disappointment for a garment sewer. There were even less garment oriented vendors than last year. I found only 4 booth's carrying garment fabric-and one was Hancock's! The selection at Vogue Fabrics was more limited than I had expected (they had a smaller area than last year) and I found nothing truly special. The Wool House did have some lovely wools, linens and cotton shirtings.
My impression as I walked through was that machine embroidery and long arm quilting were the dominant vendors.
I would really love to see more diversity at the vendors' mall.

	BeckyC said... I agree totally with you. Vogue had some nice fabric, but their selection was definitely less than past years. I bought less fabric this year than ever before. I too feel that embroidery and quilting vendors were the dominant vendor. I found myself not shopping as much this year. 11/10/06 10:34 AM
