Festival and More Holiday Party

Another day on the Holiday Party!  Today's designers are:

Kari Ramsey   and   Heather Mulder Peterson. 

They always have such great ideas, and by the way, both of them have new little boys!  (And those boys are DARLING, I must say!)

Here are a few more pictures of Market and Festival.  Did you happen to see me at Festival? Let me know if you did, it is good to hear from you again!

Here is my good friend and fellow HG designer, Barbara Jones of QuiltSoup. 

Barbara has a new book out from Martingale, and she did a book signing in the Henry Glass booth.  I took this picture for her so she could see the long line of quilters waiting around the corner to meet her!

 This is the Aurifil booth.  I have a new collection of threads with Aurifil, so I wanted you to see their booth.












There's my thread boxes, right there on the table.  I just love my "Everyday Colors!"

 I wandered over to see Jake at the Generation Q booth, because they were featuring designers on their booth walls.  There I am.  Twice.

Have you looked at the magazine?  It's awesome!

 Across from me was a booth selling antique quilts.  Look at these two beauties!  I put my hand in the photo so you can see how small the pieces are.

The Henry Glass area was always busy.  They were next to me, to that makes it easy to show the customers where to order fabric!

After Market is over, there are two days before Festival starts.  My booth at Festival was a double, so I had to take down one wall and put up more paneling on the back wall.  I kept one little partial wall between the two spaces so there was more display space.  

One section of the booth had a little "bed" in it, with lots of quilts on the walls.  Customers could come pull out the quilts to look at them, but they make more room displayed this way.

The other section of my booth was filled with quilts and a cutting table, and the check-out table.  In this picture, our fabric bolts had not arrived yet, but when they came, we put them in the shelf under the cutting table where the fabric bundles are stacked now.

I was happy with how the booth turned out because it was bright and happy, and you could clearly see what we had.

The patterns for each quilt were on a hook next to the quilt, and the kits were on the small shelves underneath the quilts.  

It was a great show and fun to meet so many of you that I know online, but not in person!

I can't believe I don't have any pictures of my helpers, but I really want to thank them sooooo much for coming and enduring this brutal schedule!  My sister Judy and sister-in-law Tori were there for Festival, and Margaret (another sister) was there for Market.  Thanks ladies, I love you so much!
