Oh, I love those jar pincushions. I think it's so handy to have all the little bits handy right under the cushion - something anyone can use even if they don't sew a lot. sharet

So sorry you got rained out. You have such a great assortment of nice things

You had such a nice assortment, sorry it got rained out.
I love the red , white and blue quilt.

Too bad about the rain !! But the Booth looked Great, and glad you were able to get things put away before getting soaked. 21 Quilts.... Wow that's huge !!

Pincushons cute also.... When re-scheduled hoping for good sales for your Charity!!

RobertaMarie 06-25-2011 11:01 PM

So sorry the rain ruined your day. They say there is always a reason for everything, but dang!!!! When you reschedule, perhaps there will be more people and they will spend lots of money. Wish I were close, I would buy one. Your display was really nice and you do good work, Kiddo! Good luck on the next go-'round. I will keep you in my prayers... Hugs :)

Quilts are beautiful Carrie. Love the pincushins and tissue holders. But please send the rain to Oklahoma and Texas - we really need it.

Cris 06-26-2011 05:28 AM

What a fantastic display! Sorry you got rained out, everything looks fabulous!

You will indeed be blessed for all the hard work. When you said charity quilts, I was thinking you maybe did 5 or 6 in the time you had but now I am wondering if your family got FED during the last few months. You did an amazing job and I am so happy to see the results of your hard labor. What a blessing to all of those who receive, Carrie!!

Let's put it this way there was a lot of crock pot meals and the apartment is a disaster. LOL!! You don't want to see my sewing area!!

Sometimes we have to pay attention to that voice in our head that says the weather is just going to do what I think it is going to do. I'm sorry some of your work got wet but at least you quilts stayed dry. Hopefully nothing is ruined.

Yooper32 06-26-2011 06:28 AM

What a bummer for you. I am so sorry, but maybe next time will be a winner and you will sell everything. Your set-up looks so neat and I am sure you would have done a great deal of selling. All that prep and packing and what a let-down. But, be of good faith..I know you will.

WOW! Carrie, your booth is soooooooo attractive and the display is beautifully arranged! All of the smaller "goodies" are the icing on the cake! I know that if I were there, I'd RUN, not walk, immediately to your gorgeous booth!!!!! Whenever you reschedule, you'll know your spot is a real WINNER!

What a collection of hard work! So sorry you got rained out !

Nanjun 06-26-2011 10:39 AM

Nice display, hope you did well with sales.

Smithly 06-26-2011 02:25 PM

Thinking about you...darn weather...can't count on it!

I didn't have any sales. About an hour before it started I had tear it down so that my quilts would stay dry. When the rain finally stopped we packed up and went home because the park was flooded and a muddy mess.

Bjbaxter 06-26-2011 02:29 PM

It all looks great! I love the pincushion jars, and I would put pins or bobbins in them.

Sure can't, especially here!!

Tweety2911 06-26-2011 03:23 PM

So sorry you got rained out. Your display is beautiful and so many wonderful items for sale by you, your mom and your sister. Wishing you a better, sunny day and lots of sales!

Twisted Quilter 06-26-2011 03:35 PM

Wow, gorgeous set-up and amazing quilts & craft items!

DianD 06-26-2011 04:29 PM

Your little booth looked so pretty. Think of this time as a dress rehearsal!
We did a sale last year...92 degrees the first day, sunny and warm....41 the next day, cold, windy, rainy. Took everything down in a hurry, then went home and watched football!

Nanjun 06-26-2011 04:43 PM

So sorry you didnt get to sell anything.
Those events are really a lot of work and very tiring.
Better luck next time.

Taughtby Grandma 06-26-2011 06:13 PM

Yours would have been a booth I would stop at. The pin cushions remind me of sno-cones.

cr12cats 06-26-2011 07:58 PM

nice booth set up. boy you have been really busy. i'm glad you didn't listen to those people and managed to keep them dry. the quilts are all are really pretty. good luck when you can set up again.

roseOfsharon 06-27-2011 01:57 PM

So sorry of the rain... but I can say you have wonderful things to sell at your booth!!

Izaquilter 06-27-2011 02:34 PM

great job Carrie & how disappointing. The stupid weather is so unpredictable everywhere this yr! I was telling a friend on the phone that normally by this time of yr we are seeing really warm & muggy temps but it's been all rain & more rain this yr. Maybe the school or a church will have a quilt show & you can enter that. You will be steps ahead of everyone else! So sorry for the disappointment!

cjomomma 06-27-2011 03:11 PM

Thank you everyone.

The reschedule date may be august 20th. I was so hoping she would do it before school starts.

tellabella 06-27-2011 05:08 PM

It looks very inviting...everyone is adorable..I love love the pincushions and the tissue holders...and I think they are worth more than $1.00...good luck on the next one...

craftybear 06-27-2011 05:23 PM

I hope they reschedule the event for you, great looking booth

slk350 06-27-2011 05:47 PM

great quilts and really cute pin cushions

earthwalker 06-27-2011 11:39 PM

Good luck for the re-schedule...Your booth was beautiful, if I lived nearby I would have been there in a flash (bit of a swim though:). We have really enjoyed seeing your progress with these quilts and wish you bountiful sales next time.

Charleen DiSante 06-28-2011 07:39 AM

Amen to this post!
