Hi! Help! My quilting group is having a quilt show and we need those " Don't touch the Quilts" signs. So would you please share your ideas with me? I've had a hard time finding any online. Thank you!

I once seen the "Sunbonnet Sue chain gang" signs they were cute and got the message across well . The signs were Sunbonnet Sues in striped dresses saying that they had touched the quilts.

Print them off on on the computer and attach them to foam board....

A hand with the universal no sign - red circle with slash through it.

I saw paper white gloves at a quilt show. They had printed "white gloves only" I think on the glove that was on each quilt.

Absolutely no touching ......... or do you allow it if they wear gloves.

The shows here, now give out the disposable painters gloves as you arrive, to avoid risk of spreading bacteria/germs in the cloth gloves.

I attended a Show this past weekend. They asked everyone at the registration/entrance booth if they wanted to to be able to touch the quilts...if yes, they were given a pair of disposable gloves. They can be bought at Walmart, etc. Pretty inexpensive.

Perhaps a nice sign upon entering the show EXPLAINING why quilts should not be touched but do it in a nice informative tone. Nothing puts me off like a rude sign. (no shoes,no shirt NO SERVICE"... Yikes!). "Negatives" puts me on the defense. Productive information is positive. Informative and educates.
