Quilt Show News for October 13, 2025
Show Set Up
Thank you to everyone who came to the set-up demonstration at the September Guild meeting.
Set-up will start on October 23 with checking in your quilts beginning at 7:45 am. All quilts must be checked in by 9:00 am. Be sure to pin your ID card to the lower left corner of the back of your quilt using a safety pin at the top and bottom of the card. When you fold your quilt, make sure the ID card is visible for check-in.
No food or drink will be allowed in the gym. Purses and coffee can be left in the hospitality room, which will be staffed at all times.
Team leaders will meet for instructions at 8:30 am. A general meeting with all participants will start at 9:00 am. We will work as teams, each assigned to a row. Each team will have a lunch break with lunch provided by the guild. (Be sure to sign up for setup on Thursday so we can count you in the lunch order.)
The Boutique and Silent Auction set-up will begin when all the quilts are hung. Vendors will arrive at 12:00 pm to begin their setup. Hopefully, we will be finished with our setup by 2 pm.
Helpful items to bring on set-up day:
Clean, coated garden gloves for protection when handling the metal conduit.
Collapsible wagon (please mark clearly with your name)
A 3- or 4-step stepstool (mark clearly with your name and contact information)
Small pocket tape measure for measuring the distance between quilts
If you have any questions, please contact Sue Minster.
Appraisals
Quilt appraisals are a great way to determine and provide a written record of a quilt’s fair market value if needed in the event of loss or damage. For $60.00, you will receive a professionally written document for each quilt appraisal.
There are currently five open time slots during the show on Friday and Saturday, October 24 and 25. Please contact me to schedule an appraisal for one of your beautiful quilts. You can reach me by telephone or email, or even at the quilt show.
