Last quilt bound and washed....First, I need to get my quilts prepped. This involves removing all of the threads (amazing how many times I have to clip threads...its like they hibernate inside the quilt and come out only after you have folded them and put them away.) Then check for any pet hair...even if I keep these quilts in the "no-pet zone" of my house quilts are like a "pet hair magnet" and a floating cat hair will find a way through doors and solid walls.
Does she look like she cares if her hair is causing a problem....
For my witch hat making a cloth bag was an adventure...
Before the show I volunteered to scribe for the judge for a few hours. On Wednesday I am the food lady...I bring and set-up lunch for the judges and the folks setting up the quilt-show rack. (lunch is a tray of deli subs and a tray of homemade chicken curry salad on croissants, a veggie tray, fruit salad, homemade chocolate pound cake with peanut butter frosting, molasses cookies, and pumpkin cheese cake)...Folks will be working hard that day so they need their energy!During the show I am responsible for the Demonstration area...not not quilt version of the Wall street protesters...we are doing demos on applique, embellishment, caring for your quilt, hand quilting, and working with wool.
Only a few more quilts to prep...which is good since we hand them in tomorrow night! So off to make the molasses cookie dough and hunt down a few more loose threads....

I love that quilt at the beginning of the post. It is a scrappy delight!
Not only does the cat not look like she cares, she exudes the feeling that she is somehow involved in the thread conspiracy, too.
My goodness, you have taken on an awful lot with this show. I hope you don't have to prepare the whole lunch yourself. How many judges are you feeding?
It sounds like a great event. Wish there were things like that around here. If there are, I never hear of them.
Good luck with all of your responsibilities and I hope you will show us your winning quilts!
Gee, I'd volunteer to help just to get that lunch! I love your featured quilt. The fabrics are great. Is that the rear end of your dog on the left side? It made me laugh. :)
this quilt is gorgeous. congrats on getting it finished! stop all that baking and get off your feet!
I hope you have a BIG turnout for the show. You and your guild work so very hard all year long.
I'm getting excited! I plan to be at the show on Friday around 1:00pm. Try not to do too much, let your friends help, so you can enjoy the show too.
You're making me hungry! Sounds like loads for work for a very good show. Have a terrific time and hope you get some of that cheesecake to keep your energy up too :)
Sounds like an awesome quilt show! Wish I could attend...not to mention the prep day..boy that food sounds delish! Your quilt and kitty are beautiful! I, myself, think cat hair adds value to quilts :-)
I love your scrappy quilt, too. The colors are great.
Love your Prairie Queen quilt! You are a handy gal to have around when it's show time, aren't you?!
Yum, molasses cookies, my favorite.
First of all your quilt is amazing and the witch hat is a hoot. Both are winners, I am sure. Quilt Shows are a lot of work but bring so much to the community of quilters and non-quilters alike. Have fun and be sure to let us know how it went.
Thanks for the preview - kudos for putting all the extra time into show prep - volunteering, quilt prep...we get to attend and enjoy after the hard work is done.
Love your quilt!
It seems that you have everything under control, even the cat hair! It also seems you are doing a lot of volunteering for your show. Please take care of yourself.
Your quilt is gorgeous and the menu for the show sounds scrummy
