The 27th Annual Glendale Quilt Guild Show is over...whew... I am sooo very glad. This year was a fun year and I do have to give myself big snaps for people management. The show looked great and the vendors were tons of fun and drama. When ever you have to coordinate over 200 hundred people and 45 booths, drama is always in the mix... ie: "Where's my tables?" "uh oh the left bank of lights just went out" to "The Ladies Room is flooding" .... the quilts were lovely... and the crowd was great..
I've been to lots of quilt shows and each has a it's own appeal... my guilds show is the only all volunteer event in the bunch...
The problem of course with voluteers is that they are so volunteer. Maybe they show for their work, maybe they dont.... so I spend lots of time trying to fill in the gaps.... the ladies were on their best behavior .... surprising because I have a saying that goes "It aint a quilt show if the chair doesnt cry" ....... and after this year, the saying still stands.... crying tears the size of October cabbage with relief that they survived the process....
I'm so proud of you!
