The Convention Center is 6 city blocks long by 2 wide. It truly is. This Festival filled it all. The Quilt Show is actually many embedded shows, all separate shows in themselves. So, think of every quilt show you have been to and put them in all in one spot, at once. The vendors stretch forever and are not limited to quilt stuff, but any kind of jewelry, clothing, skincare, and on and on. Non-quilters could drop big chunks of money as well as fabric fiends.
Please keep in mind that I only had my inadequate point and shoot since autofocus died on my Canon Tli and could not adjust for the lighting. I am only going to include some photos. All the award winners are found much better elsewhere. This is meant as a sample of the quality and creativity.

Each of those photos is mind-blowing for their own reasons, but is the reflection of the wolf only produced by the colored thread in the stippling??
I'm interested in the wolf quilt too. Is the entire design done with machine embroidery? I went to a show a few years ago and several very realistic entries were embroidered entirely with thread. At the time I was wondering how many miles of thread it took to make each of these huge pieces.
