This has been a very social week so I have only had bits of time here and there to sew. Yesterday I visited my brother and sister-in-law in their new residence.
I decided I needed to start organizing my quilts and tops for the trunk show program that I will be giving in about 10 days.
I group similar things together so if I'm talking about star quilts, I'll show all of the star quilts at that time.
I need to decide which ones will hang on backdrop stands. I have 2 stands that I take and there will be at least one more available if I want it.
I have a lot more piles to make so I'll keep working on it over the weekend. Then I need to decide the order that they will be shown in the program. I try to alternate quilted ones with quilt tops so the ladies holding them up have a break. Their arms get tired after awhile. After that comes the packing of a couple large bags and rolling the rest on swim noodles and tying the roll with strips of fabric.
I don't know if I could survive seeing all those quilts all at once in person! Just kidding. It looks to be a stupendous opportunity to inspire others and get your work seen.
When we have a person showing their quilts we take turns holding the quilts---15 mins. each so that everyone get to see the program Just a thought. The others sign up for put up and take down. That way the work load is shared.
Is there any chance that someone could make a video (like your gallery show) and that you could post it on your blog? That would be a wonderful opportunity to see many of your quilts!
Looks like you will cover all the different types of quilts with your selection. Hope you enjoy your trunk show. Chris
