Last week was full, overflowing, and exhausting, but I survived my guild's quilt show. I am the treasure for our guild and quilt shows are not only filled with just setting up and taking down all that it involves with putting on a two day show, but I have all the finances to manage as well. I think if I had one of those watches that counts the amount of steps you take each day, I would have registered at least 30,000 or more each of the 2 days of set up preparations, the 2 days show and the take down.

Congratulations, it looks like it was a successful show! Now you can rest and enjoy your beautiful new fabrics! I can see a very pretty light blue ;)
ReplyDeleteBeing guild treasurer is a big job! I’ve done it. One of my guilds has a separate treasurer, and a separate checking account, for their annual quilt show. A while after the show, when all the late-arriving expenses have been paid, the profit from the show is transferred to the main guild account, leaving some seed money for the next show. Dot in NC

ReplyDeleteQuilt shows are a lot of fun, but they are also a lot of work. Hopefully, your Guild did well.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a successful Quilt Show. I know you have been preparing for quite awhile, so glad your show was so profitable for your guild.
ReplyDeleteooh i do like that top bundle a whole lot....very nice acquisitions!
ReplyDeleteOur guild show was not as large but sucessful . My first full on involvement with a show and I enjoyed the experience.
ReplyDeleteBecause of the work and the aging guild members,,,and rising costs of the building, we no longer do quilt shows. I sure miss them and need to find some to attend out of town.
ReplyDeleteThose quilt shows are SO MUCH work, but so enjoyable. I'm so glad your show was a success. Beautiful quilts by your featured quilters. Our guild does a show in odd years, and a bus trip shop hop in even years.
ReplyDeleteQuilt shows are a lot of work for those setting up everything! I'm glad it was a success. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a successful guild show. Your guild is fortunate to have you take on the roll of treasurer AND be a major donor of boutique items.
ReplyDeleteLove that pumpkin pattern! I don't think I've ever seen her patterns in the local shops.
ReplyDeleteIt was such an honor to be the featured artist at your quilt show last weekend. Gail and I enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing the beautiful quilts on display. Enjoy your fabric bundles and some free time to quilt now that another successful show is in 'the books'. Take care, Lynn
ReplyDeleteI follow Lynn Wilder on her blog and knew that she & her sister were headed to a show to vend. Looks like you scored with your purchases. I like the quilts you showed from the show too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations DonnaLee for surviving the Quilt Show. It’s good to read you managed some fun as well as work! The additions to your stash are lovely and the photos make your show very inviting! Thank you for linking with ToDo Tuesday. I hope you managed some rest this week as well as having fun creating! 😉 Carol https://quiltschmilt.ca/
