The End of an Era????

I had recently read some "rumors" that there was a change "in the wind" concerning the Quilters' Heritage Celebration quilt show/convention that has been held yearly in late March/early April in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately, when I checked the website for QHC it appears that the rumors are true. . .QHC is for sale, and if a buyer isn't found then 2009 will have been the last year for the show.

Here's a link, in case you want to see the posting for yourself:

I remember attending from the first year. . . .taking time from work, spending all day in classes, then going back to work needing a break from the quilting.

While I was not as inspired lately. . . because alot of the entries were getting too far into "arty" quilts that are not my favorites. . . I could still find myself amazed with the workmanship that was presented.

Of course, I know that things change over time, but it has become such a habit to start looking for the class listing in October/November so that I could get my registration in as early as possible, that it seems unbelievable that I won't be doing that later this year.


In peace and pieces,
