Are you a DQ Pat?

Thanks for responding and possibly sharing ideas with other guild members the in Delta. 'Course you must work on your quilting.

Are you a DQ? Maybe you're not that addicted yet—but it may be coming. Part of the addiction is having many UFO's. Thus you may be slipping down into that pit—that fabric lined pit!

Again, thanks Pat. Some of the ideas might work to catch more and younger quilters—and that is a big potential business.

What's your annual average fabric spending?
That might be a neat question to put to FMKQ Guild members. Then put the notes out in a flyer at the fair. Fair goers can pick up a copy when they tour the quilt exhibit.

Ever thought of having "conversation" quilts
Put then on display at the fair and other local events where the guild makes a presence?

The most ugly quilt? Your personal quilt nightmare? Heritage quilts? Think those would stimulate more interest, young and old, in quilting.

The photo album job sounds like good "conversation" starters also. Will you have photos of ugly quilts? Signature quilts? Nightmare quilts?

Do a DQ survey of fair goers
• Do you have more than 2 sewing machines? More than 4?
• Do you have a sewing room? Sewing corner? Quilting closet?
• Do you have a fabric "stash"? Plastic bags of fabric?
• Can you pass a quilt shop with out going inside?

Then have an award—a basket of Calico Cow and Lovin' Stitches [Quilt shops in Delta] fat quarters—for the most DQ. And a certificate to a quilting class for the least DQ survey respondent.

Take care Pat
Keep on quilting—if you ain't a DQ yet, with a little bit of fling you can be one soon!
