\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nWork began in mid-December, 2016, to plan out the exhibits. Debby reported that her goal for the displays was to organize the quilts by category. Within each category, Debby worked with size, colors and themes to highlight each quilt.\nAt that time, all Debby had to work with were the pictures and dimensions of all the quilts accepted for the contest. It took Debby and her daughter, Jennifer (Matt\u2019s wife), approximately 30 hours to organize and map out the 255 contest quilts. This was all just preliminary work until the winning quilts were chosen (the day before Preview Night) and adjustments would have to be made to the original plans.\nDuring the judging, Debby was present so that she could have access to each winner\u2019s information. When the judging was completed on Tuesday, Debby re-mapped the winners\u2019 booths and fine-tuned the rest of the booths. \u00a0\"\"<\/a>\nBecause maps of the display areas were prepared earlier, Debby felt the hanging process went by more quickly and efficiently than in the past. It took Debby and her team of 15 volunteers approximately 10 hours to hang all the quilts. \u00a0\"\"<\/a>\nWhen her job was done, Debby became a regular guest at the show, shopping and enjoying the quilts. She also was able to have a fun evening with her family at Party Time<\/a>.\"\"<\/a>\nWhat did Debby think about her first experience as display manager? \u201cI had so much fun.\u201d Debby was able to use her organizational skills as well as her creativity to create quilt displays that she was \u201cvery proud of.\u201d Debby added, \u201cThe group of volunteers that hung the quilts were so welcoming to the \u2018newcomer\u2019 and receptive to my new ways. I couldn\u2019t have done it without their quilt hanging expertise. It was truly a team effort.\u201d\nDebby is looking forward to continuing her position at Road 2018. However, she is going to make sure that she has her own tool box next time around, something she wished she had had last January!!\nWhat was your favorite winning quilt on display?\n ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
