This was the blank canvas at the beginning of the day yesterday.
This is the same wall looking to the back. They have movable pedestals so we can get creative. The floor is cement that is finished with many different colors. 
The first 2 pieces are up and measuring for the third that will hang below them.
I stayed on the floor and played director while they climbed the ladders. We got a lot accomplished but have lots of small details to take care of today.
I don't remember if I mentioned that I had mugs made with photos of some of the quilts on them. I also have note cards and postcards. The pedestals work great for little displays. We were tired and hungry so we just set a few things out and left. We went to see the movie "The Avengers" last night. I have not seen any of the previous movies with these superheroes in them. It was a good movie.

Oh, I never like the look of that tall a stepladder.......*shiver*
But as long as YOU weren't climbing on it, it's ok. :)
How great to have that lovely blank canvas to fill.
It's coming together beautifully :D
I can't imagine how exciting this must be to watch all you work go up. I wish I could be there to see the exhibit first hand.
Oh my gosh...it's looking great! (I sure do wish I could see it in person!)
Such an exciting time!

Wonderful space...so exciting to see it come to life and be filled with your color. enjoy it!
This space really shows off the beauty, and modern look of your quilts - congratulations!I hope the show is a big success - you deserve it. :)
How exciting to see walls and walls covered with your own work. I am so happy for you. Have a great time!
this is so exciting for you I'm sure - having the walls come alive with such color is amazing - great idea to have the coffee cups made up and with the mug rugs - really if you are not a quilter would you know what a mug rug was?
Thanks for posting the photos I would have loved to go see your show but this is the second best thing to being there.

Ooo, I have a sense of excitement and I'm not even there!
what a great idea to make those mug rugs. gives people a chance to take home a piece of the action. and seeing your quilts on the wall so beautifully displayed definitely gives a sense of "action"... and, of course, exuberance! I wish I could be there!
It looks fabulous already. Best wishes for a very successful show. You have certainly worked hard to bring it together.
I would love to see a closeup of your mugs. you may want to consider selling these to your blog readers.
Thanks for posting pictures - it looks like it will be a fabulous show. Love the ideas of the mugs and mug rugs - they look great. Wish I could see the show but have appreciated all of your posts through the months leading up to your show. Have a wonderful time!

Great space! It looks wouderful!
It is stunning!!!!!! The mugs are such a cute idea too.
I wish I could, I wish I could, I wish I could . . . (be there in person).
Love the custom mugs displayed with your 'desk art' pieces.
Enjoy every moment!
What fun for you. The space looks very inviting with all your quilts, mug rugs and mugs. Thanks for letting us join the excitement!
Congratulations on your show Wanda. Take lots of pictures, enjoy every moment and have fun.
Oh Wanda ~ Looks like a wonderful gallery to hang your master pieces. Only wish I could be there for Opening Day. Not only your show, but a lovely tribute to you also.
And those pedestals ~ perfect for your mug rugs and mugs ! AND no, I do not remember you mentioning you had mugs made to match the quilts. The sets will fly out the door !

So exciting! For you AND your readers! I hope we get to see more because I'm loving being able to see your quilts to scale with the people hanging them. Please do lots more photos for those of us not able to attend.
Looks great so far! I am so excited for you!
How exciting for you! Wishing you the best show ever. Enjoy every busy minute of it and take time to soak it all in, you've worked so hard for this show.
Looks like you have made good progress, Wanda. Please keep taking photos so that we can share in the excitement! Good luck.
This is going to be wonderful! I wish I could see it in person. Your photos will help. :)
I'd love to have one of your mugs! Would it be possible to purchase one from you?
Wanda, it looks wonderful. What a perfect backdrop to let your masterpieces shine! I like the pedestal displays, too.
Hi Wanda,(and Vickie and all), So exciting to see
what is happening each day! So happy we can share it all!! jmh
oh it is BEAUTIFUL, Miss Wanda ! I had hoped to be there tomorrow night but my husband is not crazy about me traveling home on that long straight stretch all alone late at night.
so ... I think I spy a Jumbled Library 2 mug - if there is a duplicate that can be put away for me Thursday morning, I would be VERY grateful. If not possible, no problem -
I will be there next Thursday morning with bells on my toes.
If you need a break from the set-up, ask your daughter to take you to see Metalmorphosis - I think you would appreciate the visual factor
What an exciting day for you! Wish I could be there in person to see your quilts in all their glory, but I just know the gallery will be breathtakingly beautiful when they're all hung.
It's all looking very exciting. I love the white pedestals - great display place for your lovely mug rugs and mugs.
Wish I could come and see in person.
You will have a spectacular display of your exhuberant color quilts. How wonderful!!!! The time has finally arrived. I am hoping for a great show for you, Enjoy your trip.
its looking great. I wish I could see it in person. But its to far away.
The feeling must be awesome to have your art on display.
This is really exciting. I too wish I could get there to see it. I love the gallery and its sign too.
It is always amazing to see your quilts together in a grouping. That's when "Exuberant Color" is most obvious! :)
Excellent idea on hanging your mug rugs.
I am so happy for you!
love the idea of making mugs with pictures of the quilts on them!
