Isn't it great when you have a successful craft fair? I had one two weeks ago at my church, sold half of what I brought, table runners, placemats and Bow Tucks bags, this has never happened to me before so I was really psyched. I've made 2 trips to JoAnn's, picked up lots of sale items and it was wonderful to know I wasn't dipping into our limited SS income. I had a blast, met lots of old friends, and came home a very happy quilter. I also have orders for 4 more bags to be made before Christmas.

I'm so glad to hear you did so well. All that time making your items, plus organizing your very attractive display really paid off! It's nice to hear there is a craft fair somewhere that actually has the clientele to sell big ticket items. You did sell them for a reasonable price - right??? It makes me angry when things are "given away" for next to nothing. Congratulations and good luck next year too!

Congratulations on a successful show; your booth looks so inviting. May I ask what you pay for the space, and do you have to provide your own table etc? I did my one annual show a few weeks ago and was happy with my results. A space costs $30 and the vendor must provide his/her own table and chairs. I'm especially impressed that you sold your beautiful "big quilt". People usually aren't willing to pay big money so I stick with baby quilts and small holiday quilts. I bet next year you'll have people telling you "I've been looking for your booth"!
