Most people don't realize all that goes into getting ready for a show. This shows a very condensed view of what happens between our fully loaded truck and what you see when you come into our booth. These pictures were taken over the course of set up at a few shows. I was so busy setting up I kept forgetting to take pictures.
Our truck is fully loaded for Pacific International Quilt Festival.
This is the view of the inside of the truck from the side.
As you can see my husband is an excellent packer.
This is the other side. The grid is what we display the bundles of
Hand Dyed Fabric that you see in the booth.
Our hand truck has to ride on the outside some weeks.
I know we have had a good show when it can ride on theinside afterwards.
These pictures are of our "stuff" in the aisle at the
San Diego Quilt ShowThis is what all that looks like from the inside of the booth.
This is the view from across the aisle.
The quilts are hung and electrical is up and connected.
We are about a third of the way done. This picture was taken
in Portland at Northwest Quilting Expo.
We are about 75% done in this picture
Here is what our booth looked like last weekend at
Pacific International Quilt Festival
Remember that completely full truck? All of that fit inside
this 8' deep by 15' wide booth. Pretty amazing.
We have done this about 30 times this year. Our set up is easy compared to some of the other vendors you see at a show. It takes us between five and six hours to set up and between two and three to tear down. There are a lot of people with more elaborate booths than ours. We do our best to present a professional looking booth with products that you won't find everywhere. Thank you for shopping with us.
