Well, I have one week to get myself ready for the Horse Creek Festival. I will be presenting my trunk show, A Florida Quilt Collage, several times throughout the festival. I won't say that it's old hat, or that I don't still have a stage fright issue. But it's going to have to take a back seat right now, while I get other things together.
In addition to the trunk show, I will also have a display of quilts that need to be left up the entire event. It needs to  be free-standing, compact enough to travel and also fit in with the flavor of the festival, Old Florida style.
Several issue have to be addressed.
1.The trunk show relies on the element of surprise as part of it's charm. The quilts are pulled out and hung in time to the stories being told. That timing, and the presentation of each quilt is part of what makes my trunk show unique.
For this reason, I would very much like the free-standing display quilts to be ones not used in the trunk show, as much as possible. I need them to reflect and represent Florida. Do I have enough florida quilts to fill a display plus present the collage? I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a couple that will do double duty.
2. I have a few items that I will use to hang quilts, as well as paintings and framed photographs. In theory, of course, this will work perfectly. In reality, I will have to assemble the whole thing, hang the quilts and the frames and my signage. Then I will take it all apart again, and pack it to be re-assembled in Davenport.
3. Signs. Don't I need a sign that says, "Julie Mainor Art Quilts"? Or something to that effect? Don't I need a sign that describes, or at least titles, each quilt on display?

I know all these answers, I just needed to sound it out, get all my possums in a row. Plus I haven't posted in a while. I wanted to keep all 6 of my followers up to date on what I'm doing! Curious minds want to know...
