Quilt Show Set Up - Chaos Reigns

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

It doesn’t matter how well you plan ahead of time - I promise something will go wrong! This year the ‘Oh No’ was relatively minor, a hassle and time waster, but not a truly major event.

For this we are eternally grateful to the Show Guardians that watch over the vendors and laugh at us.

Set up took a record 5 actually hours of work this year; that’s the very fastest it’s ever happened. A show volunteer decided to come in today, even though she was scheduled for tomorrow, and asked if we needed help.

It is not an exaggeration to say my YES resounded before she finished her question. I think she spent about 2-hours helping, and I cannot express my thanks enough.

So here are five pictures for you…. from the beginning with dumping everything into an empty 10′ x 20′ space, to the finished booth. Well, there will always be tweaking, but you get the idea.

Stuff everywhere!  Starting to put the displays together.

Okay, now why did I put that piece here?

Time to put the feet up for awhile and just zone out… the cats are holding my place on the futon.

So last night I’m running around like an idiot trying to get stuff done for the show (set up is next week) and failing miserably!

I was trying to get some pictures and Molly just insisted on being a part of the whole thing… so…. I grabbed her furry butt and we have a new picture!

Molly helping ‘Mom” get ready for the Quilt Show.

BTW those earphones are attached to my new Shuffle - in Red! Apple had them for $49 - my birthday gift to me. It cranks up REAL LOUD!

Oh yeah, the Mollster is on my lap right now…. the kids really love getting involved in just about everything.
