    Well, my sister and I loaded up 2 surburbans, a RV and a trailer load of stuff and carried it to Canton. I took 26 quilts. 25 of them were my hand pieced, hand quilted quilts. One of them was my DH's very first quilt. I sold one quilt during the 4 days we were set up. Guess who's!!!! Right. My DH's. He was tickele to death. It made the whole trip worthwile. I did sell all of my canned items along with my special pecan brittle but only ONE quilt!!! Here are some pictures of our trip. The first one is my sister in front of our booth. Notice all of the neatly packaged quilts in the background. Oh and the last picture is really NOT superman! He is one of the vendors. His dad usually wears the costume but they hauled him off to jail. (another story) He called his booth AL-Mart!

    Cool. I love Canton. What blast! I wonder if you would have sold more quilts if you had been in one of the pavillions.
