Oh how I dream of vending in this show... The Ontario based show is the premier quilting venue on the West coast. I thought I'd share some of the art quilts on display.
None of the photos truly represent the beauty in these quilts.
Seriously...I am shocked that you aren't vending there!! I say get rid of some of the commercial style booths(you know the buttons and rulers booths...we can that online!!) and put in a local artist!! Your booth is absolutely wonderful! It's one of the reasons why I LOVE the Hemet Quilt Show!
I agree completely with Paulette, Laural. Your designs are fantastic and the exposure they get through magazines like Primitive Quilts reach an even bigger audience. We have heard about the $$$ the vendors are charged at these shows. It is a huge expense and many artists can't afford that. You have come a long way in a short time with your designs. They are very special.Keep up the great work!

ReplyDeleteThank you Claire, I appreciate the praise. Yes, it's expensive but a show like Road is worth every penny.
DeleteThe show at ROAD was wondeful. I don't know what it takes to be a vendor but I know you'd be a good one! I hope you'll be there next year.
ReplyDeleteMe too Mary, I'm not giving up that's for sure.

ReplyDeleteYou never know when that dream will come true. Hoping it will be soon for you.
