I am a quilt collector for this years Queensland Quilt Show. So this morning at 6.30 am I set off with thirty quilts from my local area in my car. Once at our Meeting venue nearly 300 quilts were unloaded from the respective cars by the other quilt collectors. Sorted into their categories, and the fun began. Fun ... exhaustion.... we did stop for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea, but were constantly on the go for the rest of the day.
Putting large quilts into small bags after the judges have finished with them is not an easy feat. Not is putting tiny quilts into bagsmany sizes too large for them.
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and now know what goes on behind the scenes of a quilt show..
A LOT OF HARD WORK FROM SOME VERY DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS!!!!!
After 11 & 1/2 hours I was eventually back at my home ready for a nice cold drink.
Now to do the same road trip next week when we hang all the quilts!
There are some great quilts so if you are in Brisbane from next Wednesday make sure you head to the quilt show.
