My guild has had a lot of trunk shows over the years. Every month the program committee brings in a speaker and they normally do a trunk show. They get some famous people and some from within the guild. I have also done one with my mother and sister, I had to ask for a bunch of quilts back to show but everyone was great about it.
I was also at the trunk show for Robin Pandolph that was at a guild about an hour away the week before someone stole all of her quilts. They were amazing to see... to bad the person that stole them doesn't realize the value in those quilts.
