Thread: Quilt show disaster

Learn and live - if nothing got torn or overly dirty - and no one got seriously hurt - - - -

majorly inconvenient -

Same thing happened at the Lancaster Quilt Show several years back. The quilts that fell like dominoes were the best-of-the-best, the ones that got all the prizes. This happened early in the day and when we returned later to see these quilts, they were still on the floor. As I recall the disaster was caused by a child in a stroller. I personally believe strollers and cargo carts should be banned particularly at a heavily attended show. Just me, but I have tripped over same too often.

This is just awful. A true quilt show nightmare coming alive. All that work.....

One of our local guilds has really great racks. They "rent" them out to other groups that want to put on a show.

Wow...that is terrible, and I am glad the one who got hurt is ok.

One guild made new quilt show frames this year, of our own innovative design, and this was our greatest fear! We only had space to put up half of a frame (one side, which would hang six quilts), on a member's deck as a test, so when quilt show time came, we were all holding our breaths! All went well. Whew!
