I've got to fill out the entry forms for our guild's show tonight. I'm having a tough time deciding what to put in. We can enter up to 15, I have a list of 10 possibles. But winnowing down is turning out to be harder than I thought, because everything on the list of possibilities is either finished or nearly finished.
David says enter it all. But somehow, that seems "show-offy" to me.
I agree with David! It just turns out that this year you happen to have lots of goodies ready. Next year perhaps only one or two.
Okay then, let's not think of it as 'showing off'. How about Sharing? Maybe your entries will inspire and encourage, or perhaps bring back a precious memory. I love to see other quilters' stitching - even the beginners. Polly
Keep some for the next show? . In message , Maureen Wozniak writes
From someone who has helped organize guild shows and who has gone to many shows as well - please enter all your quilts!! *If* by some chance, there are too many quilts for the space you have for your show then the organizers will help you winnow. But it is *much* more likely that your productivity will be greatly appreciated by them. And also by the viewers who would rather see your work than a blank space on the wall.
And as for being show-offy.....I`ve always liked this quote from Walt Whitman which seems to apply here:
If you done it, it ain?t bragging.

what she said!

Thanks everyone, I did end up putting them all in. The space we have is at the State Fairgrounds and its huge. So the likely problem seems to be that the organizers are worried we'll have too few quilts, not too many.

I'm with David. If you got it, flaunt it!
