We have 340 quilts plus a Hoffman Challenge exhibit. We have a silent auction, boutique, 20 vendors, hallway display of quilters' other activities, free lectures every hour, door prizes, even chairs placed about the exhibit hall to sit and rest your feet.
It was rewarding to see ribbons on four of my five entries (pictures in yesterday's post). I presented a lecture on Creativity, where I enjoyed showing more of my work and discussing what inspires me.
White glove duty is my favorite quilt show task, because it allows me to circulate and see friends and also answer questions asked. It is quite satisfying to help people understand techniques they see, as well as how the quilts are categorized. For instance, TA means Team Applique; THMS means Theme Small; ART means Art (easy one); then there's ME/S/WC/O, which means Machine Embroidery, Stitchery, Whole Cloth, Other (needs explaining). The cats are not pleased; in fact, I hear "Oh, rats . . . she's leaving us all day again!"

Congratulations on your ribbons! Somehow I'm thinking that you probably have enough to make a quilt out of ribbons alone.
Looks as though the show was a happy, satisfying time for all.
Thanks, Tanya. Yes, very successful show, and any glitches were small ones. Several people commented the quality of the work was even stronger than other shows. Of course, quilts you are looking at are more beautiful than ones from memory. We were pleased at the public's response.
