Scott Gets a Day Off

It’s Monday. Scott gets a well deserved break with the family for Columbus day to see an Islanders game before the mad flurry that we call Quilt Market…

Just for fun here is a a breakdown of the wildness that is called ‘getting ready for a booth exhibit’. 

Did we pack all the signs that need to be hung?
Are all the quilts pressed and ready?
Did we order the right number of poles, chairs, lights, and don’t forget booth carpet cleaning?
Does the camera have fresh batteries? 
Did we pack the colored dots for the swatch cards that allows us to keep them organized?
Are all the designers scheduled for their demos, and what is the title and theme of each?
Have we packed up every single thing we will need to tape, screw, velcro, glue or otherwise affix all that needs to be displayed? 
Which candy are we giving away this year?
Where are the schoolhouse door prizes? 
Are the table clothes and table covers pressed and ready? 
Do we have labels for cases prepared? 
Have FedEx shipment been scheduled? 
Did we pack the pens that everyone loves to take? 
Don’t forget an extra roll of duct tape! 

On top of all that are the appointments! The most important part —getting ready to see our customers!

There is no end to the details, big and small to get ready. Hope to see you there!  
Scott will post a blog later this week about the quilt market.
