For the first time, I had a booth at Quilt Expo! In fact, this was the first booth I've ever had at any show -- talk about jumping in with both feet! It was a huge undertaking, but I had a lot of help!

The people I need to thank the most are my husband, RT, and my friend and fellow TuffetSource affiliate, Meg McKinney. Meg is a fantastic photographer -- you should really check out her gallery. If you see good photos in this blog post, they're probably hers. She came up from Alabama to help me out with the booth and her assistance was invaluable. 

​Here's the booth:

And a few closeups:

It's been a little while since I've posted but that's because I've been so busy with Quilt Expo! I was lucky enough to be able to give my Rinky Dink class as a one hour lecture all three days. Plus, I spent a lot of time in the Quintessential Quilts booth and was also able to spend some time helping out the friendly faces in the Bungalow Quilting and Yarn booth. I just discovered that Bungalow also has an Etsy shop! Dangerous!

Anyway, we prepared dozens and dozens of tuffet kits for sale through the Quintessential booth. We brought home a lot of them, but I made countless contacts and think that classes will fill up really quickly. Be sure to sign up for a class before it fills!

On to photos!

And now four of my favorite quilts that I saw. Sadly, I didn't even get a chance to see the whole show, I was that busy! First is the whole quilt and then a closeup.

Something else happened at the show, but I'm going to save that for another post.. Stay tuned!

I have two pieces of great news! One is that I'm going to be giving my lecture, "Quilting with Less Stress on a Rinky Dink Machine" at Quilt Expo! If you haven't been to Expo before, it's a great show put on by Nancy Zieman Productions as well as Wisconsin Public Television.

This lecture is a great way to learn how to build confidence as you approach quilting your first pieces. It's only $10, and I'm giving the lecture all three days of Expo. Here's a link to sign up!

The other news is that my quilt, Meg's Garden, has been accepted into the show as well! I'd love for you to come and see this quilt in person!

If you are able to come, please keep an eye out for me! I'd love to say hi!
