A NOTE TO ALL OUR QUILTING FRIENDS

Many Conference Participants enjoy helping out as a QUILT STITCH - it's easy, fun, takes little time, and you get to choose what you want to do.  Here are some of the great "job" opportunities at A Quilters' Gathering.

• ADMISSIONS: Greeting quilters from all over the country as they arrive to see the show, collecting the admission fees, stamping hands, handing out programs.  A sit-down assignment usually done by two people.

• WHITE GLOVE: A great way to take your exercise for the day as you walk amongst the beautiful quilts reminding visitors that only the one wearing the white gloves gets to touch the quilts.  When asked, you may show the back of a quilt.

• TEACHER ASSIST: Your chance to be a teacher's pet as you take attendance, pass out and collect evaluation forms, help the teacher show their sample quilts, distribute handouts, etc.  Good for someone who likes variety.

• SET UP AND TAKE DOWN EXHIBIT: Many hands make light of this major undertaking which starts with Scribing for the Judges during the quilt reviewing process (usually Tuesday afternoon and/or evening).  When the quilts have all been judged, they must be hung (usually all day Wednesday).  This is done in shifts with the last crew putting the final touches to the show around midnight.  Take down is Sunday afternoon, it's no fuss and very fast.

• ANYTHING: There are lots of jobs always needing to be done whenever anyone is available.

On the Registration form is a QUILT STITCH section for you to check the times you might be able to help and the assignments you might be interested in.  Anyone who assists for a minimum of two hours will receive a mug with the logo of this year's Gathering. It is our way of saying...

THANK YOU FOR BEING A QUILT STITCH.
