Losing Weight is ALWAYS GREAT!
So… You probably wouldn’t be surprised if I told you that it’s VERY expensive to ship our display items to the Quilt Market, would you? But I bet you’d be shocked to learn that about 1/4 of the total weight we ship is tied up in just ONE component of our display…our handbag stands! Pictured [...]

Our 1st Retail Show- The LayOut
Most of you know that we have never EVER vended at a retail show. Our experience with show vending is limited exclusively to wholesale shows in general and the Quilt Markets in particular, so when we took the plunge and committed to exhibiting at the Original Sewing & Quilting Expo in Raleigh, NC, I knew [...]

Portland- An Exhibitor’s View
So…. as I’m sure you already know, this Spring’s Quilt Market was in Portland, Oregon and since this was the site of our very 1st Quilt Market in 2008, I wasn’t really planning on doing my usual travelogue post about the host city, BUT- since Portland Oregon is such an interesting place… here goes!

Spring Quilt Market 2013- The Quilts
So… Now that I’ve shown you my booth, the award-winning booths, and my favorite booths, it’s time for what is traditionally my favorite Quilt Market post… the QUILTS!

Spring Quilt Market 2013- Booth Award Winners
So…. In keeping with tradition, it’s time to show you who the Booth award winners were at Spring Market 2013. Just as an aside, over the course of ELEVEN (can you believe that?) Quilt Markets, I’ve learned that the fabric folks have a distinct advantage in capturing the booth awards and there’s a couple of [...]

This Changes EVERYTHING!
So…. in a recent post we gave you a sneak peek at the new website we’ve been working on for over 17 months. Not continuously of course. But a lot! Seriously… a LOT!!! But here’s the deal… It’s FINALLY DONE! And for us, this changes EVERYTHING! Now what exactly do we mean when we say [...]

An Improved Peek
So… You might recall from a previous post, that we participated in the 1st ever “Sneek Peek” displays at the Quilt Market last Fall and from what I observed at least, it was NOT for the most part, a big success. That was largely because the space we actually received was only about 2/3 of [...]

So… over the past few weeks, we’ve shared with you the new floor plan we devised for the Spring Quilt Market, as well as our vision for the way it would look with the sample bags in place, so I’m thinking that you might like to see how our plan came together in reality when [...]
