We don't have trays of FQs so that's out. We only sell fabric, no notions or patterns. We have a few pre-cuts and bundles, so I could bring those.
Should I be bringing yardage and a cutting board? Those of you who belong to guilds, if you've ever had a LQS do a talk, did they bring fabric? If so, what did they bring?

I would suggest making up several packets of precut fabrics. Nothing says you can't sell any leftovers at your store, right? And if you are looking for the extra advertisements, you can always donate a few each month to the guild as raffle prizes. Just a thought.
Have a great time!!!

Start with 5 fat quarters. Choose which will be your focus (the square) and which 2 will be paired together.

Wonderful, WONDERFUL!
Thank you so much for posting this. I had tried unsuccessfully for a half-hour to guess how to fold the fabrics that formed the points, and finally gave up. I would have never figured it out on my own.
