ladyquilter OFFLINE Posts: 754 Thank you received: 37	How about putting together a Time Capsal that could be stationed outside of Ricky's shop. And after a determined number of years, it could be opened and a reunion of the guests that came these first two seasons could get together and reminisce. What a show that would be!!!! Or am I too much of a sappy gal....

stash2quilt OFFLINE Posts: 10	All good ideas posted here... But, they did say everything gets a new look, and it's a New Day! So, let's have a "treasure hunt"ng for the lamp (and other things from the set they want to have us find clues for) -- sign me up! Sounds like lots of fun, and it can be combined with education too - we hunt up answers in blogs, etc. I'd find a way to decorate to suit that lamp for sure! Ha!

Much as I would liek to say that this lamp should come home with me and travel the USA in our mobile quilting home, I agree that it should stay in La Veta and become a new TQS icon "Light the Way" is a great idea. So I vote for it living in La Veta and being a TQS icon along with Ricky's hat, photoman, the thread guy etc.

p.s. Ricky, you look great in the Elmer Fudd hat. A whole new career- hat model. LOL

A new light on an old art! 07 Jul 2008 15:40 #21591

AlohaJo OFFLINE Posts: 181 Thank you received: 1	I agree with jpadden53! I think it should become a symbol of quilt show history and a new segment for future shows. Great idea j, it appears we were weatching the show at about the same time today. It was an energizing show!

Since The Quilt Show has illuminated so many aspects of quilting for thousands of members around the world. I think you should come up with short segments that "Shine the Light" on a new quilting method, a special quilter, i.e., Lavella Casinelli, a special happening in the quilt world or some "quilty" noteworthy news and keep the lamp in La Veta. Not only will it symbolize the "light" of a NEW DAY, it will light the path of THE QUILT SHOW from its inception into the future.

I love the site and I really look forward to seeing the new set.

CaroleD OFFLINE Posts: 229 Thank you received: 3	Well, it looked great with the set! Maybe it should go to whatever new home the furniture is going to. I'd offer it a home here but it looks very breakable, and my cat would have a field day with it!
