Connie, I love your fast tracked dreaming, either that, or you've won some lottery and haven't told.
I'd love to go to the one in France, they have one each year. The 5th Edition of the Pour l'Amour du Fil (For The Love of Thread) quilt show took place from April 24th to 27th 2013 at La Cite in Nantes, France. I'd love to go to #6!
