Pets on Quilts Show - Its not over till its' over
"What did the dog say when it sat on the sandpaper?"
"Rough, rough."
"What did the cat say when it sat on the sandpaper?"
"Meow."
I've had some good constructive feedback on better ways to have structured this quilt show, and I appreciate this feedback. It will definitely help should it be held again in the future, as well as help me for related shows. If you do have any recommendations you have not yet shared, feel free to leave a comment and/or email me. I'd love to hear your recommendations. As I host the Christmas Quilt Show, late fall/early winter, and the Golden Quilter Awards in the spring, I wanted to hold a show in the summer and certainly have enjoyed the Pets on Quilts Show. But I'd also be interested in hearing feedback to determine if you'd like to see the "Pets on Quilts Show" being held in 2011, or have a recommendation for a different theme. Lastly, I'm looking for ways to get more EQ6/EQ7 and fibre-arts quilters participating in these shows. Again, if you have any recommendations or feedback please feel free to leave a comment or email me.
I also want to thank the sponsors for this show for their generosity, those that submitted their pets on quilts to share with all of us, those that helped with PR, and those that took time to view the entries and leave comments to those that shared. Quilt shows wouldn't be fun without the quilts to see, and I do realize it takes time to enter any show, thus I am appreciative and want to encourage every quilter to enter shows (virtual, local, international). This is the a great way for quilters to share, to learn, to support, to inspire, to have fun, and much, much more.

I've been enjoying the quilt show. Its given me a great opportunity to see how others have made pet portrait quilts, which I have an interest in. If you DO hold one in 2011 I may have my dog portrait done, and ready to enter.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your enthuasiam and your willingness to host shows. Since I don't get a lot of time to travel around and see many shows, I enjoy seeing the ones hosted on the internet.
ReplyDeleteHow about a garden quilt show? That could be a fun spring show....not that you need another show to add to the list...LOL.
Thank you for hosting and encouraging others.
Smiles,

I've had a lot of fun. Thanks to you and to all your sponsors and to everyone who participated!
ReplyDeleteIt has been heaps of fun. I for one vote for another Pets on Quilts 2011 show. Now, on to the Christmas Quilt Show. Thank you for all your work with this. I know it is a big job.
ReplyDeleteLovely idea, logistically I appreciate you handling the complicated details. I would play again in 2011, for sure. With a bigger example of my skills and less of my cat's stunning coat!
ReplyDeleteBravo, bravo (standing ovation here). Thank you for this one, I know it's been a lot of work for you and I certainly appreciate it. This one has been more based on fun which made it more... well, fun. I think it will grow if you continue it. I enjoyed every entry, beautiful quilts and wonderful critters, once again, it doesn't get any better than this. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks for holding the show. I enjoyed sharing my pets and seeing everyone elses pets. Have you ever done a Patriotic Quilt Show or maybe a Memory Quilt Show? I'm looking forward to the Christmas Quilt Show.
