Hi there,

You might want to consider having a themed quilt show. My guild will be doing a centenniaql quilt theme. Quilts of Valor or quilts for veterans is another choice.

However you set it up will be fine as you are going to be the first. Make sure you take notes.

How are you going to display the quilts: drape them over objects or make pvc stands?

Find others who will make a good supportive team - husbands included for the making of stands, hanging and such. Mke it fun and you will be amazed.

Having somethingh to sell is nice. Maybe your LQS owner would be willing to have al ittle booth.

Have some demos on the history of quilt making or just on quilt making. You might get some junior high youth involved as that is usually when the kids are exposed to sewing/quilting. The home ec teachers could help with this. [Can you tell I was a teacher in a fromer llifetime?]

Most of all ... HAVE FUN!!!

Let us all know how it turns out.

God speed.
