Recap- Pop up Shop

I was asked about the Pop up shop we did the week prior to Sisters Quilt Show. 

We have our large empty parts store that has a good location right on the main highway. 

Here comes Laurie, ready to start unpacking. I told her if we are doing this for 5 days she needs to bring a lot of stuff! She does vending at quilt shows regularly so she was ready.

I had lots of 5: squares!

And more squares!

Trying to get the attention of drivers on the highway going north. 

We worked with the local quilt shop and she contacted a bus that was coming her way to send that bus to us!. They were a lot of fun

One question is "Would I do it again?" 

I had fun with girlfriends but probably wouldn't do it again. We opened about 8 Am and closed up about 7Pm so we put in some long days. We were open Wednesday- Sunday. 

Things got a little goofy!

But it was something fun to do once. 

Lone Cabin Top- Done!

Life has been a bit of a zoo but I've managed to get this Lone Cabin quilt top completed! YAY! I feel like the outer border is a bit too dark,   but it is too late now. It is off to the quilter!

 

Summer temps are in full force- love watching the birdbath!!

Deer were getting a drink from it last night. We let them get a drink before we scooted them out of the yard. 

I hope you are having a lovely summer.

Incredible Fabric- Quilt Top

At first glance this doesn't look too special. 

But a closer look reveals more!

This top is beautifully hand pieced. 

Minty 

The brown geometric prints are stunning!

I'm a little baffled on the minty green. 1860's?

This looks fussy cut to me.

A real beauty! I'd love to know your thoughts on the year for the fabric and quilt. 

It is in my Etsy shop!

Pop - Up Shop Finale

 The past month has been a bit of a whirlwind! I plan on going back and sharing some photos from my mission trip to Uganda soon. But for now we ill fast forward to this past week. 

My extended family on my husbands side came to Central Oregon for us to sprinkle my brother in law's ashes at the special hunting grounds. It was dry and hot but it was good!

I had been getting the Pop up shop ready so we used the opportunity to pose in front of my Cousin's Walk quilt. (I put a high price for sale, but no takers during the pop-up) If you wonder why. it is much larger than I actually like to use. I'm still the owner so I'll enjoy it!

Here comes Laurie on Tuesday from Washington state. I told her she needed to bring LOTS because it would be for 5 days- she brought a lot! It was great!

We had an amazing amount of space. I wish I would have sold more quilt tops!  Finished quilts sold, so am contemplating quilting a few of the vintage  tops? What do you think? I will be putting some on my Etsy shop this week. 

Making sure we are getting noticed!

We had a bus of quilters from Washington state stop by! 

That was fun.

And 5 days was over quick! We arrived most mornings about 8AM and left about 7PM so we had full days. It was fun to do it with girlfriends!

I'm looking forward to getting back in the sewing room.
