Don't ask God to make your life easier, ask Him to make you a stronger person.

Confession time . . . . .

I don't like how fast cameras go through batteries!  At least mine . . . . .  I remembered my camera yesterday.  Took a few pictures of the booth and then it died.  So no quilt pictures.

I have to take pictures of every booth set up because it seems each show, the setup is a little different because of the booth size.  Some booths are only 8' deep instead of 10' which means I can only put an 8' table along the side instead of my two 5' tables.  I know it sounds confusing but every time I go to a show I feel like I'm re-inventing the wheel with my setup.  So if I take picture of every show, eventually two of them will be the same and I can just look at the picture instead of thinking so much!  LOL

Here is this past weekend's booth.



And here is a picture of my very first booth setup just a year ago in August.



Big difference from one 8' table, huh?  I've come a long way, baby!

Yesterday's booth was a booth and a half or 10' deep by 15'.  Usually a booth is 10' x 10' but I now have to have 2 booths (a double booth) because of all the wool I carry.

Also no pictures of the quilts because I never got to see any or walk the show.  Yes, I was that busy!  I heard they were beautiful.  Dear Hubby came up to help me pack up but not until about 4:30.  Just not enough time to look at quilts or shop the other vendors.  I would love to see what else is out there that I don't have.  I did run over to one vendor to buy the Lil' Twister ruler but she had sold out.  That will teach me!  I'll see her again at another show soon, I hope.

Blessings, Cathi

It is interesting seeing your booth and the beautiful wools. You have come a long ways from your first booth. Your booth looks oh so professional. I am glad that you had a lot of business. Makes it worth all the work you do to prepare.

You have come a long way, Baby! Beautiful booth - your hard work is very obvious. :-) I'm glad you were busy, busy, busy!

The items you feature are beautiful. It must be a ton of work setting up and taking down, but the booth looks great.

Interesting post. I haven't been to a quilt show in a long time, might need to get to the one in Sanford, will you be there. Oh and I saw your Chirstmas countdown, 78 (now 77) days doesn't seem very long, especially when I consider how much I want to make.

Your booth looks great and just shows how your hard work and your special talent has paid off. I am just so proud of all you have accomplished, not that I had anything to do with it - just proud to know you!

I got caught up on your blog posts, love the Christmas pictures and stockings.

Yes I do agree you've come a long way since your first booth. I see lots of things in your booth that would pull me right out of the aisle into yours - look awesome and so inviting. Congrats
