Our show in Pensacola is every two years. It's for Friday and Saturday at our fairgrounds hall. There is a boutique where each member is asked to contribute two items. The small items sell well. Also someone can sell on commission if they have larger quilts they would like to sell. We don't bring in a speaker, but we do bring in an outside judge. There is sometimes a "bed turning" where a few of our great quilters will talk about there quilts. The speaker talks about each quilt and two members turn the quilts up that are piled up on a real bed. The last show there were 2 1/2 inch strip in a kiddie pool and there was a fill your bag with scraps price. I'm not sure that went over very well. We also have made up sets of blocks. So someone industrious can purchase coordinating block and make their own quilt. All the blocks are the same pattern. The best advice I can give it go to shows in your area and see what you would like to do.
