Last weekend was the big quilt show - where the highlight is all the quilts flying from the old buildings and cute Victorian iron balconies. Except it - finally - rained all weekend. Just the kind of mizzling rain to make things miserable.
Nevertheless, the indoor quilt show went ahead, and we had a lot of people through. The outdoor quilts were hanging in the various churches, who also had their own quilt shows, and the quilt shop had something else going on and even the library had a book launch of a romance that, somehow, involved quilts. I think, I didn't go, I was too busy taking entry fees and doing coffee runs for the ladies. They also launched an old Dodge that had been restored - I think there is some history with the town but it was too damp to care much.
It all went well but it will probably be the last one this group organises - it's just too much physical labour. And mental labour, although there is probably a more efficient way to run things. I helped with the judging (turning the quilts over, not the actual judging) which was quite fun, although it's not like judging a 100m sprint. It's not exactly a quantitative process.
This was my view most of the weekend. Very pretty. Overall no quilts were lost or destroyed and some money was made, so two thumbs up.
