Our First Street Fair

For the past couple of months, Sally and I have been busy preparing for our first arts and craft street fair.  Sally had set up a small booth at a fashion show earlier in the summer and while she didn't sale anything there, she liked the idea and decided to give one of the local fairs a shot.

She bought some vintage, unfinished quilt blocks and quilt tops and we went to town making things with them.

Here she is at the Grinder's Switch Arts & Music Festival held in downtown Centerville, TN.  It started out to be rainy day, but it cleared up quickly.

I think this was her top seller, but ones with birds painted on them.  The younger crowd went straight for these.

My favorite was a vintage quilt top she found, made from all kinds of fabrics...their scraps I'm sure.  I didn't like it at first, but when I started quilting it, it became special.  I could just see all their lives in this quilt.  And I loved the pattern.

 She only sold one quilt, one that we didn't even have to do anything to and Grannie always said if you sell one quilt, the show was a success.  So...we are headed to our next show in November.  We need to add more Christmas themed items...but we have a good start already.
