MAQF ’24- Seen at Show

So… even though I’ve been in business for 20+ years, I still get a big kick out of seeing our customers carrying bags they’ve made from our patterns! And what better place to “spy” these customers than at a retail quilt/craft show, right?

But you know what? There were over 100 vendors at this year’s show, which is a big increase, AND… we actually “spied” FIFTEEN of our bags “walking the floor” of the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival ’24! That’s a RECORD HIGH, and that’s a good thing! 🙂

So… let me show you!

But here’s the deal…

Last year I decided to offer a TEN PERCENT across the board discount to every single person who comes to our booth wearing an SKD bag, and that’s EXACTLY what we have done! And it’s been SUCH fun seeing all of these wonderful bags that we plan on repeating this offer for ALL of our 2024 Festivals… so what are you waiting for? Get those patterns out and finish up a bag to bring to show near you next year! 🙂

And now, it’s YOUR turn!

Do you have a bag you’ve made from one of our patterns? And if so, how about taking a cue from these ladies and wear it to one of our Quilt Festivals this year to pick up a cool 10% off or your entire show purchase?

    I LOVE that so many different SKD patterns were in use at the show. Obviously you provide a wide variety that appeals to different needs and tastes. That takes more than just a little bit of creativity. The proof is in the seeing. 🙂
