As a quilt guild member, I have started small moves to get involved. We have a show planned for the last weekend of September, and an event of this size needs a ton of pre-planning and many hands. This is the primary money maker for the guild so we can rent the space to meet and most importantly, get the caliber of speakers that I have enjoyed thus far.
There is a raffle quilt for every show and a small army plans the quilts and puts it together. Then, for the 3-4 months prior to the show, it travels to quilt shops in the area to advertise the show and to sell the raffle tickets. I am on the "travel" committee, so I have gotten to touch and really enjoy it. They had it appraised by a professional and it is worth $7500.00. It is hard to say if the piecing, the prairie points or the machine quilting on it are my favorite parts.
