Tomorrow is the first day of the Spring 2014 International Quilt Market in Pittsburgh, PA. As a rookie, I am super excited! This is my booth... #2052!
My mom agreed to be my partner in crime on this adventure. We took off from Pine City, MN on Tuesday at noon. We drove all afternoon and evening and ended our day in Leroy, IL.
Day 2, Wednesday, saw us travelling in and out of rainy weather across Indiana, Ohio and finally to Pennsylvania!
We found our hotel and collapsed.
The next morning we went in search of a Lowes for a dolly and found the convention center. It was hotter than an oven as we setup the booth. Apparently the A/C is not turned on until the afternoon before the show opens. It was 87 degrees and humid yesterday, so it was really sticky!
We also went in search of the Camelot Fabrics booth and the Checker Distributors booth and dropped off quilts for display.
Keep an eye on the facebook page for posts throughout the next few days.
Tonight we get to go to the Sample Spree and buy wholesale priced fabrics and notions from a bunch of vendors. Super Excited!!!
Until next week... when I detail the market experience! Jo
