So… the thing that makes planning so difficult for Quilt Festival, is that it comes right on the heels of and, in the same facility of the Quilt Market. Quilt Festival is of course, a retail show, but Market is strictly wholesale, our ONLY wholesale show of the year.
And the thing is… I generally do a pretty good job of predicting and planning how much of each product to bring to a retail show. I keep good records from show to show, and from year to year, so its really not that hard. But Quilt Market is a LOT more unpredictable than Festival, since many of the store owners like to buy in volume and some even would prefer to have us mail then their order AFTER we get back home.
But guess what? This year I’m adding a TWIST to the whole thing!
After years of so many of you asking us to do so…
we’re having a “Bag Sample Sale” at Quilt Festival!
This sale will include FOUR ErgoMatic bag samples (since we recently retired this design), along with a couple of Triple Play‘s, and a faux leather Cosmo Convertible, among MANY others leftover from the Quilt Market sale (see the picture HERE). So if these samples interest you, come to our Booth early (#110), on opening day, as I don’t expect that they’ll last long!
And now…. it’s YOUR turn!
