All last week I prepared for a community wide sale to raise money for the local
Community Hall. I had three table toppers I wanted to finish and some mug rugs so that I had some small items to include.
Community Hall. I had three table toppers I wanted to finish and some mug rugs so that I had some small items to include.
My first table runner utilized a combination of holiday prints and others for good measure. No pattern was utilized, I just threw strips together in an orderly fashion. You could use any size strips and it would be pretty, especially using holiday fabric.
I quilted it with feathers and swirls.
My other two table runners used some more holiday fabric and are a bit simpler than my first.
The mug rugs were so much fun, I quilted them with a feather motif and straight lines.
I opted to rent a table to show my quilts and thought I would bring my business card. My town is small-meaning-really small. I believe somewhere in the area of 250 so I truly was not expecting to sell anything but I did think it would get my feet wet so to speak on putting my items out to be seen. It ended up being a very positive experience. I didn't sell anything, but I had the opportunity to meet different individuals in the community and discuss one of my loves, quilting.
I definitely need to work on my presenting skills. Maybe purchase some hanging bars for hanging my quilts. All in all a fun experience that I learned a lot from.
