You'll also have quite a learning curve. I wish you well.
Dunster, what exactly does my part of the country play a role in making money at a craft fair? Ive been going to craft shows most of my life with my mother and they always seem busy and people seem to be spending money. Im not looking to get rich by any means, mostly just to make a few items and sell at my mothers table and maybe walk away with enough to buy me a cup of coffee for the ride home lol.
To answer your question on what I wish to make, I think I am more into the rag quilts than traditional quilts. I plan on making a new twin size bed cover for my daughter to match her room colors and depending on how that comes out I will decide if I want to make a few more for the upcoming xmas show my dear ole ma always attends.
Anyways, im at work so I will have more time later to answer/ask a few more questions. Thanks all for the responses so far
