I have been home from International Quilt Market in Houston, Texas for a few weeks and finally finding the time to share some photos. This year Lunch Box Quilts had a 10 X 10 booth and the adjacent 5 X10 booth. I wanted to show the booth before we start putting it together. I forgot to take the picture until after the curtains and poles were installed.
After many hours, renting some new poles, and taking a break for lunch, the booth was transformed. I gave the Island Breeze the premier spot in the booth to showcase it.There was a lot excitement as everyone entered market the first day. Some store owners walked every row and took notes on which booths to return to. Others have a plan with definite booths that they are visiting. We saw many of our customers and met some new customers.
Jill and Therese from Pine Needles in Cedar Rapids, Iowa came by.
Also Vivian from Quilters Choice in Jupiter Florida stopped by for a visit. Although I saw them every day, I didn’t take a picture of Norma, Julie and the rest of the girls from Hickory Hill Quilts in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Mike and I enjoyed their daily visit to the booth!
I was very fortunate to have Bernina loan me a 730E embroidery machine for the booth. It was fun to have a machine embroidering Island Breeze designs in the booth. YLI Corp was very generous and provided Iris embroidery thread. All the Island Breeze table runner samples will all be stitched with this wonderful thread.All in all market was a success. Next will be Spring Market in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I better get to work on some new ideas!
Keep your sewing machine stitching!
