How many participate in the fall/winter craft fairs that are all over our wonderful country - and if so, what are you taking. Have you had luck in the past, and is it worth your while? Thanks

I am going to watch this post as I too am curious about other's success at Craft Fairs.

I would like to, but, I'm never caught up with all my projects. Maybe next year, but am interested in your answers.

I have participated in the past, my GF has done it for years...every summer/fall/winter. This year is her worst year. The last 2 I've done -- one 3 yrs ago and 1 this summer -- I sold so little that it isn't worth it. I don't know if it's our locations or the economy. My GF usually makes quite good money by selling at booths on the coast -- but this year, she barely met expenses!!!!!

I have done them in the past, find that the smaller inexpensive items sell, but not worth all the work.

People do not realize the work that goes into making a quilt, and so do not want to pay.
