A New Show, a New Experience

Vending at quilt show is always a learning experience.  Each guild (or group of quilters) varies in it's taste from each items sell better to which sample quilt gets all the attention… I know there are a lot of variables that play into that, especially placement or location.  This time it was a little different.  I forgot a number of my samples.  With a different combination of samples hanging, it's probably not  an accurate to compare to other shows.  Just the same,  the sample that got all the attention, was a still life scene done in a class with Esterita Austin.  The sample hung at the end of my stand, which was back in a corner, above the basket with patterns and Esterita's video.  At least, it's placement drew people into the booth.  I also hand a group of four women who really liked the asymmetrical long sleeve shirts.  They took a group of them to the restroom to try on.  Ladies in the restroom noticed the shirts, and came back to see me.  Thanks for the advertising!  It was a nice show and group of people!

    Helpful Hints:

    I love using leader/ enders when I am chain piecing.  It was an idea from Bonnie Hunter.  Instead of using a scrap piece of material in between chains, use two small blocks.  You can work on two project projects at once!  I keep a pile of 2" scrap squares next to my machine for this reason...Happy piecing!
