Shopping at the Show

I'm sure for a lot of us it wouldn't be a visit to a quilt show without a bit of shopping. In fact I know some people head straight for the traders tables before looking at the quilts! I can't say I blame them especially when the shopping is as good as it is at the Springwood Quilt Show.
