It was a tiny show and we ended up being the only 'handmade' crafts there...everyone else were hostess/party type stuff. The other handmades didn't show up!! <br /><br />So, we counted any sales a success...and we did make quite a few. :).https://www.blogger.com/profile/00227925128508137750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570213920676343993.post-57906836950466208762010-11-22T06:51:51.709-07:002010-11-22T06:51:51.709-07:00Congrats on your first show!

I make quilts also and they didn't do so well, so I only make them as custom orders. As much time that goes into a quilt I can't sell myself short on those at all. The last one I did a couple of weeks ago I did really great! Like you, I too love to meet the people and sometimes my things get their sparks going on some gifts for family and friends. glad you had a great day!sugar Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513934179396361297noreply@blogger.com
