A Quilt show is a wonderful idea. Our guild (55 members)put on a quilt show combined with a house/garden tour. At each of the seven stops, visitors got to tour the property and view the quilts many of which were hanging outside on fences, decks, gates, clothes lines etc. Each stop was a different theme, eg Christmas, Kids, Vintage etc. Our village population 5000 had 879 visitors to our show. Lunch, a quilter's boutique and the historical quilts were stops at the churches. We charged each visitor $15 and the tour took most of the day to see everything (we had more than 400 quilts and more smaller quilted items). This show and tour netted our guild more than $16000. We had bus loads attend our show and people drove from up to two hours away. It was way beyond our wildest expectations. I say, involve the community, recruit lots of help, plan early and hang the quilts. They will come.
