Excited about Quilt Expo Results.
#1
My sister decided to rent a booth at the Pueblo Quilt Expo last weekend. We had never done anything like that before, but by the end of the weekend, she had sold over $2500 worth (sold out!) and I met so many wonderful ladies. My feet have never been so sore though. My sister and I went on less than five hours sleep two nights in a row because we had to drive back to her house, two hours away, to restock! It was wonderful, but if we do it again, we will be better prepared.

I have my entire sewing room organized because of her! Anyway, we set up Friday morning and by noon realized we needed to go back home that evening and restock. Another vendor ended up buying us out so she could sell our merchandise at another expo.

Oh.. that same lady who bought all the organizers also saw some of my quilts that I designed and asked if I would let her market my patterns. She wants me to write patterns for her company. I would make $500.00 a pattern that she markets. I am seriously thinking about it. (My sister thinks that I should sell them at our booth instead, but I don't want to have to print them and get them into envelopes. Not only that, but I won't have the exposure in order to get them sold.)

glad to hear that everything worked out so well for the both of you. you must have been thrilled to sell out of merchandise and to have a pattern offer. sounds wonderful and something to think about and explore!!
