Attend. The Original Sewing & Quilt Expo

Next month I'll be traveling down to Kansas City to attend The Original Sewing & Quilt Expo.  I have a press pass to cover the expo and I also signed up for a few classes. 

I'm looking forward to this event for a couple of reasons. 

1. I'm going with Kelly from Refibered. 

2. It will be a few days of pure crafting goodness.

3. I could really use some sewing instruction.

I'm taking three classes while I'm there.  The first one is Photoshop Elements for Creative Printmakers.  I'm really excited with this one as it combines computers and crafting!  I've had Photoshop Elements for six months and still don't really know how to use it to its potential.  I'd love to be able to design my own fabric for Spoonflower or my own craft paper at Craft Sassy. 

I'm also taking Core Sewing Skills.  I could really use some instruction on the basics so I can avoid some of the crazy mistakes I make.  Plus, I'm a self-taught sewer so it would be nice to know how I'm "supposed" to be doing things. 

The third class I'll be registering for when we arrive so I won't know what is still available.  We took advantage of the bring a friend deal being offered so we each get an extra class.  I'm hoping to get in on a slipcover class. 

Do you like to attend expos or events like these? 

If you could take a class from any of your crafty "heroes", who would it be?
