Weaving my way through the maze of Vendors I arrived at Quilt Showcase and Two hours of White Glove/Quilt Angel duty.
Apologising that I couldn't give more time I was told -"If everyone could spare just two hours it would make a huge difference."
The Quilts were many and varied - I didn't have a quilt finished for this year and (I couldn't resist taking this photo) maybe I was missed?
It was a temptation to add a sign "Reserved for YOUR Quilt
next year"
Without Quilts to put on display - There would be no Quilt Shows.
And at just 92cm x 134cm "The Apprentice" by Julie Adamson proves that it does not have to be a BIG Quilt to win Best of Show.
Congratulations Julie!
I was there on Thursday. It doesn't look very busy in your photos - or did you just wait until there were no people around to take your photos?
ReplyDeleteI try to wait until people are out of shot or at least unidentifiable if I want the photo for my Blog.
DeleteI think a sign saying "Reserved for YOUR quilt next year" is a great idea. I feel that many of the quilts are so beautiful and often ornate that it might be dissuading people from entering theirs because they don't think it's up to the necessary level of skill.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the quilt shows need an "achievable quilts" section (no prizes for it?) that encourages even first-time quilters to offer theirs for display. A bit like the "Small Achievable Gardens" section at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.
I love your new fabrics ;)
