Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show 2013...part 3

As you might know putting on the largest outdoor quilt show in the world is no small undertaking. We have an amazing staff and collection of volunteers...

I thought I would share a couple images from the Quilt Show office...

Quilts coming into the office...

Quilts waiting to be placed.... All those little pieces of paper on the walls are images of the buildings in town and how many quilts can fit there and any other specific information about size of quilts that can be there. Once the quilts start arriving the girls start picking quilts that look good together and piling them up... then they start placing them on buildings.

When a building is all done being filled with beautiful quilts they go in garbage bags until Saturday morning.
