Dallas TX Quilt Show

The show is over and I'm all packed up and ready to head home in the morning. The show was a slow show but I at least made my expenses and made a little. There was fall clothing market going on across the street and the word was there weren't very many people buying anything. You can still see the economy is hurting a lot of things. All we can do is hope the next one is going to be better. I head home tomorrow, it's about a 10 hour drive so it will be late when i get home.

Greater Dallas Quilt Show

Today we got set up in Dallas for the Greater Dallas Quilt Show. It's cold and rainy still here but will warm up on Sunday when we pack up. Marc is with me at this show and hurt his back so he is moving really slow and trying not to pick anything up, he's doing good to get up from a sitting position. My booth is only 10x10 this time and I have everything in it as usual just not as much of everything. If your in the Dallas area stop in and see a great show. The quilts are awesome I got to walk around and see a few of them after setting up.

Dallas, TX

We made it to Dallas today for the Greater Dallas Quilt Show. It started raining the minute we crossed state line from OK, the temps are also only in the mid 40's. It figures every time we go south it gets cold but the good thing is as we were driving down 69 through OK we saw the green buds on the trees and all the trees were flowering. Spring is on the way now for it to just warm up a little. Tomorrow we set up for the show.

Home again

I'm home for a few days, and during this time I will snowdye a few pieces, do laundry and get some orders out the door. I still have plenty of paperwork to do but that will wait until I get back next week. I leave on Wednesday for the Greater Dallas Guild Show as always if you go to the show and tell me you read my blog I will give you 10% off your order.

The show in Bloomington, IN was a good one and I will return next year. Saturday the convention center was so hot that people were getting sick and leaving. I was over in the annex and it was really nice there warm but not hot. I heard nothing but good comments on the show, the teachers, the quilts, the vendors everyone had a wonderful time except for the heat on Saturday. The reason it was so hot on Saturday in the convention center was the temps outside rose up to the mid 70's and nobody was expecting that. The heat was still on in and it's hard to switch over and change in such a short time. This show is always the first weekend of March so if you want to take some good classes with great teachers and see beautiful quilts this is a good show to attend.
