And on the sample, the name of the pattern and where to find it. Maybe also the fabric line used to make it.
One of our local stores does this. It is so nice to see a beautiful quilt, and below it have the pattern and the selection of fabrics from which it was made. They also offer classes, have a kitchen for all day sessions, and feature local artists once a month. Great inspiration. Another store features a finish your quilt day, and all offer help to beginners. And, of course, friendly, happy people working there. I am sure you will be successful. You have the right attitude. Happy Quilting, and may success bowl you over.
