Great news - I would go with a brochure as well, something people can take with them with your contact info on it, for future reference.
Reminds me of a 2 person show DH and I had at a crafts organization. We had most of the quilts (wall size) hung in a conference room. Then the office person came in and said we had to hang everything at eye level of someone in a wheel chair. So we took them all down and wound up hanging them at about 3-4 feet from the floor. Didn't make sense to me but I did as I was told.

Wonderful! i hope your quilts all sell and that the new tires smell good for a long time! ( I did bookkeeping in my Dad's gas station as a teenager and still like the smell of new tires. Weird, huh?)

What I didn't have is the names of the quilts and a price list. Any ideas on how to do this? I thought I'd make a complete list with prices and my phone number so people could take a copy of the list and call me.
The bank had some nails in the walls for framed pictures. Of course, this won't work for quilts with a hanging rod. They wouldn't allow additional nails. We used Command Strips by 3M. I'm nervous that they could fall. I think I'll go look tomorrow.
First Time for Everything. UMMM. My Ears Still Ring.... Old song, for what it's worth. We celebrated by having lunch at 3:00 pm. Then had to buy new tires for the car. Hope to sell some quilts.

What a fantastic idea! I'm hoping that the 3M hooks work well for you. I would place a card with name/price for each and then do business cards on the computer with your contact info...these can also be placed at your local grocery store bulletin boards. I'd do a pretty, detailed color info sheet for the grocery store to send people to the bank, too. All free advertising, minimal cost for business cards. =) best of luck!

I've had problems lately getting my photos to download from camera to computer. Today it worked. Here's a few pix of the show[ATTACH=CONFIG]422998[/ATTACH]~12x18" Accidental Landscape[ATTACH=CONFIG]422999[/ATTACH]~40"sq Wonky Log Cabin
[ATTACH=CONFIG]423000[/ATTACH]~54x36" Fantasy Flower designed in a Ruth McDowell class
Due to the security at the Bank I couldn't take a picture of the whole show that was behind the tellers. The color of the wall is taupe, not pink, cream or grey.
