However I agree with EIQuilter that the quilts you've quilted for others shouldn't be taken to guild meetings. (And I realize this isn't what you were asking about, but her comment got me thinking along those lines.) For one thing, those quilts probably aren't finished (bound) yet, so they won't show to their best advantage. Even if you get the owner's permission, it creates problems. Other quilters may hesitate to bring their quilts to you, thinking that you will be carting them around to guild meetings before returning them, or that there will be hurt feelings if you ask for permission to show them and they say no. Best to keep it entirely professional.
good thoughts, dunster. this is the way i feel also. and what if something should happen to the quilt while it's being carted around?
