Folding Your Quilt for Check-In

September 13, 2019September 18, 2019 ~ Independence Hall Quilters

One of the most time-consuming things about check-in is unfolding and refolding the quilts. The Check-In process would go a lot more smoothly if quilts were brought to us folded to show:

the label
the sleeve

The video is short and sweet, and you will be ready for check-in.

Gearing Up …

September 5, 2019 ~ Independence Hall Quilters

For the big show -> October 11-13!

Don’t be surprised if a quilter asks you to support a scholarship program by buying a raffle ticket. The quilt we are raffling off this year is designed by Lynn Wilder and worked on by Guild members, under Lynn’s expert tutelage of course!

Our energetic member, Dana, has been selling tickets for the quilt, and the American Girl Doll. We also raffle off the Doll, including a wardrobe of Haute Couture fashions. No Kidding!

♥ TTFN ♥

P.S. Last day to submit an application is Monday, September 9th

Another Quilt Faire Survived

October 26, 2018 ~ Independence Hall Quilters ~ 1 Comment

Whew!

Today is Day 3 of the aftermath and I am still tired! Talking with other members this week I found that I am not alone in my slow recovery. The show takes a lot of effort and teamwork is the key. When the team is short-handed it means more work for who’s left. The 49ers are experiencing the same thing this season…

A few random photos, of setup, the quilt room, and taking down of show items. Sort of a “Teaser” for next year’s fun.
