Who was this Paducah vendor?
 
After 3 days in Paducah I can't recall the name of a vendor--surprise! They sold packages of 8 fat quarters and separate packages of coordinating border fabrics with a variety of patterns. Anybody know who I'm talking about? Thanks.

That is going to be hard to find out since I assume there are many vendors during the event. Good Luck.

Did you try finding a list of the vendors (check the web for a list)? If so maybe you could go to their website and find see if they are who you're trying to find.

Do you remember where the vendor was located - upstairs, main floor with most of the quilt exhibits or "around the corner" on the main floor? If you picked up the magazine that described the quilts, that is a list of the vendors and diagrams of where all the vendors were located. This won't help you though if you think they were in the other vendor locations (Rotary quilt exhibit, etc.) Hope you find the vendor you are looking for!

Sweet Treats is a wonderful vendor. Hope this is the one you are looking for. I haven't made the trip to Paducah yet (maybe next year?) but have purchased from them often at Road to California. Their variety is amazing and the quality of their fabrics is fabulous. They do a wonderful job of coordinating the fabrics in their bundles.

Oh, my -- just checked and I still have two 8-piece fat quarter bundles to create a couple of fabulous quilts.
LUCKY ME!!!

This must be the one. I dread stopping at their booth because I ALWAYS end up buying at least one Sweet Treat. :D I love their coordinated bundles.

I think RAChhap listed the one I was thinking of. I had the program book & thought that might have been the vendor but when i checked their website it was basically under construction. Thanks all for your help. I guess the lesson here is if you see something you like, get it before you leave town!

I have bought several packs from this group.

Isn't there a label or something in the packaging? Did you get a receipt with the purchase? Hope you find the stall.

I don't think she purchased anything at the time.

My method for quilt shows is to get a map, walk through everything and make a note of specifically what I liked and which booth number (vendor) it was at. Then I go look at the quilts in the show. I come back to the vendor area later (if it's a multi-day show, I'll sleep on it and come back the next day) and if there's a product I can't stop thinking about, I'll return to that booth and buy it. This works pretty well, especially for curbing those impulsive, what-was-I-thinking purchases. If I suspect that a product may not be there the next day, I inquire about possibly purchasing it online from the vendor at a later date. I get a business card and write down what I want on the back.

Great method, Peckish! I am going to try to do that if I get to stay for multiple days. With only one day at Paducah, I combined looking at the quilts with looking at the vendors. Wrote down the booth # of those that had something that caught my interest. Ate lunch, thought about all that I was interested in and then headed back to those vendors. More walking but hey, the step count on my Fitbit was outstanding!

emcay 04-28-2016 07:18 AM

I agree Peckish & in previous years I've done that but for some reason I didn't follow that this year. Will return to that method next year as my brain didn't seem to retain the information like I thought it would...I think because I had more time I spent more time browsing. Since I didn't mark the booths that I liked I retraced a lot of steps. Also, my shopping partner has slightly different interests & steered my away from fabric partly because I said I wasn't buying any this year! Why did I make that vow? Why did she listen?
