This is just a little birds-eye view from the top window looking down on the convention hall.
I think this is the largest show under one roof in the U.S.
I'm actually here as a worker bee, working for the Quilt Show Shoppe.
The Quilt Show Shoppe is the online store for Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims who host "The Quilt Show".
It's been a learning experience to see what it is like behind the scenes to get ready for a show this large.
So much work and planning go into the preparation before the pallets arrive.
People know in advance they have a certain number of feet to work with-in. Once there, it takes a lot of figuring and moving around of tables and displays to get the right flow.
The current 2009 Block of the Month also designed by Sue Garman.
The area where Alex stands to meet her fans.
I'm off to work for our first full day!
I'll share with you as much as I can while I'm here.
How exciting that you get to be there in the thick of fun things!!! I loved all of the pictures you took and the new projects for TM are wonderful. I'm looking forward to the next update. Have fun!!!
