[@aspalsbury]

Thank you! It’s so much fun to get an insider’s view of Quilt Market!

I live near the location of Mancuso’s Philadelphia National Quilt Extravaganza, but I haven’t been able to attend for many years due to health issues. That’s why I love watching videos, like yours, from quilt shows. Can’t wait to see the quilts. I’m so glad you showed the Carbona Color Grabbers. They don’t get mentioned very often, but I think they are a great product. I use them when I prewash my fabric (yes, color comes out of most quilt shop quality fabrics, not just red and black), when I wash my quilts, and when I wash dark-colored clothing. Thanks again for the work you do on these videos.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and I appreciate your kind words.

What an awesome quilt exhibit. I used to live in FL & was able to attend the quilt & sewing expo there. Now I'm in SC. The quilt expo here is smaller but still fun to attend. Thanks for sharing!!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Quilt Expo events are great! Maybe you can plan to attend QuiltCon in Raleigh in 2026?? I plan on going to that one too. 🤩

[@lorrainemaccarelli4655]

@ISeeStarsQuilting I'll look for it , thanks!!

I was there- maybe my 38th year- somewhere in there. You explained the show so well-

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so much for watching.

[@sphhyn]

Wow. This is amazing ! Greetings from Germany. Quilting is a very niche hobby here and not many shops to choose from. I wish I could go to visit one day.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I hope you can come as well, you would love it.

Thank you for sharing so many wonderful sights. I have never been to Houston, but came close this year. I do live within 20 minutes to the venue for Road 2 California, which I’ve been to every year but one since 1999. You should come sometime.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

It’s definitely on my list!
