Patchwork Show Overview

The Patchwork Show was a success.  Here are some pictures of my booth.  The rain stopped by the time set up began and the clouds blew away and the crowds came out.  Thank you if you made it down to support your local artists.  I was amazed by the talent and different items that were on display for sale. I can't wait for my next show.  Now it's time to focus on delivering a baby as I am due in less than 10 days :)

Patchwork is this Sunday!

Pre Show Preparation

Preparing for Patchwork next week, I am super excited to show you a preview of some new designs that will be for sale.  This is my first show and it's been a blast thinking of new ideas and even display ideas.  If you have the time next Sunday please come out and support your local artists in Long Beach from 11-5.  The show is going to be amazing with over 75 local vendors.  I will have greeting cards, photo prints, and handmade fabric coasters for sale.  Stop by and say hello.
