Have you thought of doing a raffle for you large quilt? I just did that for a few lap quilts and two baby quilts and made 570.00. It was for a good cause but I bet you could do that also. I know before I started to quilt I would buy raffle tickets for them at the town fair.

Your work is absolutely gorgeous! I especially like the quilt you're touching with the scalloped border and harvest motif, but honestly, it's all beautiful. The right person just didn't come along this year for the large quilt. But I agree that it helped to entice people into your booth.

Your booth is great, and arranged nicely. I love the big quilt and am surprised it did not sell. I did the Christmas bazaar thing for 3 years, and found out its just not worth it. I did sell one of my quilts, and wish now I had not. Mostly sold purses and small things. Lots of admirers and lookers, tho.

I'm not sure if it is the economy. The first day I was selling like crazy & was really hoping that Saturday would be just as good. We had a nice sunny day Saturday & I wondered if people were doing things outside or maybe some last minute yard work. I'm in Ohio & cold weather is coming. Or maybe with the warm day people's thoughts just didn't turn to quilts. And you're right...it's hard to figure out what people want. Last year they were saying "do you have any larger quilts", so I made some larger quilts for this festival & then they were asking "do you have any small quilts"...lol.

Oh my goodness, your booth looks so professional - I thought you were at Quilt market. $325 is a steal for the big quilt. I think people just want smaller, less expensive items for gifts.

Your display is beautiful! your quilts are stunning! If you had business cards or pamplets, you may still get calls. People especially men do a lot of last minute shopping! Good Luck!

All of your items are beautiful. You do wonderful work and I'm sorry you were disappointed about not selling the big one. It was priced really well, but I think, at this time of year, people are looking for smaller items for gifts.
