I have done many shows. Some with quilts and others with smaller items like embroider/monogramed items, totes, pot holders, crocheted dish cloths, rag rugs. you name it.
I like to keep standing and smiling and answering questions.
I cannot say I have ever really made a killing at any of them. Maybe sold a couple of totes, and long time ago couple of quilts
I really think it depends on LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.
Often suprised at how everyone comments on your items but do not buy.
The only crafts shows I work at now are for the Church Bazaars. And this last one. lol :( No one bought anything over $10.00 Even if had a tote for $12...... So I have resolved to make smaller items and fewer of each.
I would love to hear the success stories. Maybe I will learn from them :wink:
