February 19, 2026 - Quilt Show Schoolhouse (Part 2)
At this meeting, we will continue preparing for the Quilt Show in March. We will have a demonstration on preparing quilt labels, which often have different purposes. We should label our quilts to document them (maker, date), but for the Quilt Show, a specific label is needed to quickly check in the quilts that will be displayed. Each quilt will also need to be packed in a pillowcase (or other fabric bag), which also needs a label.
Check in and check out procedures will also be discussed at the meeting, so that we are all familiar with the drop off and pick up routine.
Any additional quilt show-related questions you might have can be addressed in this meeting. Sign up sheets for volunteering at the show will be available again.
With your help, it is going to be a great show!
