How to host a Quilt-in Event

Step 5 Setting up your site

Plan for at least 3 hours to set up your event so you aren’t rushed. There is ALWAYS going to be something you forget. (It’s Murphy’s Law!)

We have found that it works best if you have stations.

This will give you the organization you need to help the event run smoothly.

The stations we have are:

• Cutting/Sorting
• Sewing
• Tying
• Ironing
• Food/Break Area (we will talk about this later)
• Supply Area (this is where you centrally locate scissors, thread, yarn, and other shared supplies.)
• Prize Area (we will talk about this later)

My attached image shows you how we plan and set up the room for working.

You may want to take pictures of the room before the event so you can better analyze how things did and didn’t work for you for future events.

Make sure you have signs to put on your stations so everyone knows where to go next.
