quilt show "how to" question
I helped hang quilts at Quilts in the Garden (the show Alex is affiliated
with) last year & no precautions were taken at all. I think you just hope your quilt doesn't get slattered on, but, as someone else said, quilts can be washed & if you have a quilt you don't wish to be washed, perhaps you shouldn't put it in the show. I love seeing all the quilts hanging in the nursery & also at Sisters - wish we could do an outdoor show too, but ours is indoors (same weekend as Alex's show).

We're talking about having an outdoor quilt show here, but there's something we can't figure out. What do you about birds dropping by - or dropping in - or just - - - dropping. We're afraid of getting the quilts ruined. That's all we'd need for our first local quilt show to end in a big disaster. Any advice or experience? Karen, Queen of Squishies |

quilt show "how to" question
A couple weeks ago I picked blueberries at a farm. They want to keep birds away from the berries, so they have a recording of a scolding bird playing constantly. It is quite loud, but that may work. You could also post some of those owl dummies. These suggestions would not solve the problem of high flying birds though. Talk to a berry farmer or your cooperative extension. If people move material goods outdoors, they have to expect issues with flora and fauna. Go with Debra's fine disclaimer suggestion.

Polly That's pretty funny. I've got an even closer timing story. My step father was a construction man and you know those fellas often eat outdoors. One day he was sitting on a pile of building material, unwrapped his sandwich, opened it to add some pepper, and a flying bird picked that moment to "pepper" it before he did.
