Well, we made it to Houston for Quilt Market. Mom and I are unpacking in our hotel room and in a couple of hours I will do my schoolhouse. For those who don't know what a schoolhouse is let me explain. The day before market opens there are a series of 15min and 30min lecture/ demos of new products that will be available at market. I will be showcasing Urban Flannel with an emphasis on how to market and sell flannel or other fabric in your shop. I give away as many ideas as I can in 15 minutes and show off the fabric. It is really important to me to give shop owners ideas to take into market and back to their shops. Having been on the other side of schoolhouses I know a bad one compared to a good one. I believe that this helps me give as successful and informative schoolhouse as possible.
Before I go I will share a couple of photos of some of the work I have been doing out of the Urban Flannels. I have been meaning to share these for days now but time has slipped away...I will give a more detailed report when I get back from schoolhouse. I also will share the free patterns that I have created for the flannel.....here you go......
Miss Livvy Lou with the "blankey" from a new pattern that I am doing called "Prudence & Henry".....
Miss Vi with Henry the Elephant.......
Miss Livvy Lou with Prudence the Owl......as you can see Prudence and Henry are pillows that are shaped as cute, lovable animals....they both can carry their blankey, Henry on his back and Prudence under her wings. I thought these would be the perfect for car travel, as well as a sleep over at Grandma's........here are a few more photos of the girls and their new friends before I go....
Have a great day and I will write more soon.......I have two great quilts out of Urban Flannels to show you and give you the patterns for.......
