QUILTS: Garden tour is
more extensive than
ever this season
Continued from page 3
shared greenhouse and six
shared plots for fruit, herbs,
and flowers.
Tour chairperson Donna
Lipscomb is coordinating
the tour for her second year.
She likens organizing the tour
to <planning an extensive
campaign.=
After getting people to
agree to open their homes/
gardens to over 500 people,
a schematic is produced
for each location to enable
planning the placements for
check-in tables, water sta-
tions, parking, special dis-
plays, and posting of garden
club members who act as
hosts at each site.
Each location has its own
unique qualities that provide
the backdrop for specially
themed quilts, garden art, and
this year a particular book by
Mark Barringer
& Bob Baker
Playing in the
Lounge at
Chops Bistro
an Oregon author.
The actual tour takes place
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the
Thursday of Quilt Show
Week, but preparation begins
months in advance. It takes
an army of volunteers to stage
the tour, with captains for
each area 3 quilts, parking,
vans, special exhibits, tick-
ets, marketing 3 everything it
takes to stage the tour.
The week of the tour
includes the delivery of tables
and tubs full of supplies to
each tour location on Tuesday
or Wednesday. The quilts
are hung early on Thursday
morning and taken down
immediately following the
tour. Supplies are collected,
money is turned in, quilts are
returned to their owners, and
another tour is in the history
books.
Last year over 500 tickets
were sold, and this year may
beat that record. Tickets are
