Seen at Show: International Quilt Festival ’25
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 trade show, right?
And you know what? we spied EIGHTEEN of our bags "walking the floor" with their creators in the George Brown Convention Center at the International Quilt Festival '25! This year the variety of bags we saw "walking" at this show was extraordinary, but one thing is for sure... they were ALL totally AWESOME!
And here they are, in the order in which we spied them!
Here's Peggy Ring showing off her incredible Wrapsody!
And here's Sue Goodwin with her stunning High Seas Convertible!
Theresa Grenon came by with her High Seas Convertible that her husband Michael made for her! 🙂
And here's Lois Beck sporting one of the most beautiful Elsie K Baglet's I've ever seen!
Marthe Jones is one of our testers & she came to the festival sporting her High Seas Convertible!
And I loved seeing Tanya Althof's Sling Along (with an Aussie-flair)!
Here's Pam Shire displaying her one-of-a-kind High Seas Convertible!
And we always enjoy catching up with Deb Mullinix, & this time she came by sporting her Sling Along.
Lois Beck (& her hubster) came back on Saturday with yet ANOTHER magnificent bag, this, a Side Slinger, only proving that Jan is an expert sewist!
And then here's Jan Strickler showing off her impressive ErgoMatic. Great job Jan! Your bag is gorgeous!
I've lost track of how many of our bags that Virginia Compton has made, but here she is with an amazing Everyday Attache!
And here's identical twins, Janet Gately & Jean Clement with their not-so-identical Sling Alongs, both beautiful!
Cathy Woods was so proud to show us her new Sling Along... & with good reason, it was amazing!
And here's Candice Rushing sporting her "Harry Potterish" Sling Along (made by Suttonly Stitched).
Then here's Rachel Hill & Jo Ponder wearing their twin ErgoMatics. Gosh, aren't they pretty?!?
And finally, here's Mrs. DiLuca wearing the graphic Gateway that Pattie Cockerham (at left) created for her!
And now.... it's YOUR turn!
