Are there any big sewing conventions in the east?

My favorite sewing expo is no longer coming to Worcester, MA, BOO!! Are there any other big sewing conventions that come to a ~500 mile radius of Boston?

I liked this expo because it was so comprehensive...it had classes, demos, machines to gawk at, fabric for sale. Doing a search only yields every single tiny local class, so I'm wondering if there's anything big and comprehensive that may be coming to the area. (And if there are only small places, tell me your favorite.) Thank you!

So, I don't know if this counts, since it is across the border, but technically Toronto is within a 500 mile radius of Boston, so Creativ Festival. It's more than sewing, but all the major sewing machine dealers will be there and the class lists are generally pretty awesome. There's usually a lot of quilting fabric available but not much fashion fabric.

Fall show only, though -- the Spring show is lame.
