Getting ready for the Guild Show

The local quilt guild I belong to, Pieceful Hearts Quilters, has its biannual show November 6th and 7th, 2015.

I'm on three of the committees so in addition to getting my quilts finished I also helping with publicity, the show challenge, and the special exhibit.

Our postcards came in last week.  The quilt on the cards won two ribbons in our last show!  We leave these cards at local shops, other quilt shows this spring and fall, send to guilds around the southeast, and give to vendors who are going to vend at our show to distribute to their followers.

Our show challenge will not be announced until our February meeting...it just may be a challenge that will please everyone! (members of our guild range from traditional, through Modern to art quilters!)  Now that would be something....stay tuned!
2013 show....
The special exhibit will be "Guild Inspired Projects" or Gips for short (as in "finish one for the gipper..."  (groan...)  Ok, one of the goals of the show is to inspire more quilters or quilter wannabees to join.  So we have a special badge to hang on any entry that was inspired by a guild program, workshop, block of the month, or mystery quilt.

I hope we need lots of these badges!

I think it would be so much fun to have a road trip with some of my guild buddies to see your show. I'll put it on my calendar!
