Since Friday I have been working in the set up of my guild's quilt show. I handle the finances and usually help set up the boutique as well. The show started yesterday and it was a long day. And I am off today as well for the final day. Expect it to be even longer. Monday off to the bank and settle all the deposits. I did manage one quilt item last week. Not sure what is likely to happen this week.
I have a scrap bin full of Elements fabric. Lots of little bits and pieces. I think I can just about manage to get a charity quilt out of them hopefully will be 48 by 60. They are easy to put together, and the fabric is interesting and fun. Just a few highlights from the first day of our quilt show. We do a basket raffle. This year the team involved with it really went all out with 55 baskets. Our guild does a traveling quilt show on a regular basis. These little 16' quilts travel to multiple hospitals, libraries, and senior living complexes. This is our Opportunity Quilt, some lucky person will win this beauty. This is our charity group's booth. These ladies are working on binding by hand some of the quilts that will be distributed in October to local groups.

Ooh, love the peek at the show, hope you'll be able to post a later review of it! When you say the little quilts "tour" those facilities, do you give them out or show people how to make them?
