Bussines cards are a great idea, because they can go home and think about it. What about doing home shows. Hostess gets a percentage of sales to purchase other items from you. play afew games give winner tissue holder or a key chain with quilt sq.And than you can take orders as well. Just ideas, I did these things when I was a lot younger and fully enjoyed ever moment.

The quilt on the wall is gorgeous, sorry it didn't sell. All your items are beautiful, and you put a lot of hard work into making them. I'm getting ready for a Fair at my church on Sat. and hope I do well, although I won't have as many items as I did last year because of rotator cuff surgery in May, but I'm starting to get back into the groove. Love that Santa wall hanging. It's never easy to say what will or will not sell at fairs, it's always hard to judge, but you did great work.

I know the hard work from beginning to the end of the sale was to make money as you quilt. Maybe these sentiments will help: When I go to a show, I don't plan to buy as I need not a thing. I go to calm myself, relax, enjoy, study, and have a moment of fun in a very stressful life at this time. I have not thought to say even thank you to anyone for allowing me this precious time. So thank you for allowing me to look at your quilt and other items and a moment to reflect in one of many, many stressful days.

You have some lovely things in your booth, and that log cabin in the back is a stunner! I'm sorry it didn't sell. I guess it's one of those things that you just have to find the right buyer. Hopefully you will.
