guild show and tll tiqutt

Jul 15, 2006 33 Replies

Thank you ladies for all the adoption offers to take care of my tops, but if you are Toppers yourselves, I wouldn't want to mess with the owner/quilt top ratio. Then I would have to worry about some tops not getting all the attention they deserve. I would have to call QPS(Quilt Protection Services) and what a mess it would be . . . I wouldn't want to see anyone on the news with the headlines, "Quilter Found Barely Alive, Discovered in Home Overrun With Quilts" . . . no one knows exactly where all the quilts came from, but neighbors confirmed that UPS made many stops . . . it is believed that she couldn't say no to a top, being a Topperholic and all . . . sad, so, so sad!!

Joan I am trying to get my not-so LQS shop to create a "Ps n' Qs" group [piecers and quilters] to match up those who like to create tops and those who would rather quilt than create the top. I do not have a local guild or group. I am a piecer for the most part.

As for show-and-tell. We used to have all many of th> I haven't been in a guild for a while but the one I used to be in had

SHE refused a 'Great BEG' on her behalf! Oh my, what is this world coming too........ I'll step up and help you out, Taria--think you have my new addy. Don't have ANY new quilts for this place.

No problem with that here...so send them on. Sides the quilt Police have NO IDEA of where I'm at....they still think I'm in CA (heheehehheee)

Butterfly (so happy to help another quilter out of her dilemma--and I'm not even asking color, style, size, theme, etc--not futzy at all--this place NEEDS color!)

I agree with what many others have said about how it depends on your guild. I think it would also be helpful if guilds let new people know what their preferred procedure is.

I've gotten so that I get there early and have my stuff out on the table. Then when people walk by they ask me questions or make wonderful exclamations. Then if necessary we can plan for an advice session during the refreshment break.

Which one are you going to show?

Is it OK to show a top in your guild's show and tell or do you guys limit yourselves to completed quilts? I am not too shy, but I haven't gathered the courage to do SNT yet... maybe now that I was voted evening secretary (though of course they misspronounced my last name!) I will finally dare - but should I wait until I have really finished a project or do you guys think I can show a top?

I'm still wondering what the correct and incorrect pronunciations of Marissa's last name are...

FWIW, people can mess up ANY name. My maiden name was a very common six-letter English surname which I shared with a famous actor, and people messed that one up ALL the time. Sheesh.

There's only one way to spell "Gibson". And yet....

As far as I know the guild I belong to does not have a policy around what qualifies for show n' tell. There have been lots of things shown and told. We are a fairly big guild with about 250 members with 1/2 attending the meetings
