    I bought twin size black sheets for my tables at craft fairs. Liked your idea of the computer playing a tutorial!

    I packed my items in suitcases with wheels, that works great!

    I have a friend who does this at festivals. She has had a lot of items stolen. She doesn't go back to the festivals where she has had a lot of theft. Are the tiny hearts on the quilt behind you pieced? That's a beautiful quilt behind you.

    • @CreatewithClaudia
      @CreatewithClaudia  9 месяцев назад +1

      Oh I’m lucky I haven’t had anything stolen yet! I hope it doesn’t happen. Glad you like the quilt. Yes they are pieced. It’s my Heart Strings pattern available in my Etsy shop. Thanks for stopping by.

    That was very useful info, thank you. What do you use to hang your quilts at your stall? Is it a collapsable clothes hanging rail or a specialist quilt display thingy?

    • @CreatewithClaudia
      @CreatewithClaudia  9 месяцев назад +2

      Thanks so much. That is a photo backdrop stand that I can fold down into a carrying bag. It can get pretty big!

    I'd love to know what all you sold and how many did you sell. I don't need to know the money aspect of it, just trying to figure out what items might sell better than others. I just lost my job so I'm trying to create some income, not extra income, who has extra? Thanks for sharing.

    • @CreatewithClaudia
      @CreatewithClaudia  9 месяцев назад

      I sold mostly patterns and also fabric. People seemed to like 5" charm packs that I had made up and mystery grab bags. My items like totes did not do as well. I think that is because it was a quilt show and most of the people there already new how to sew so they could make something similar. Good luck!

  • @deborahmiller6287
    @deborahmiller6287 8 месяцев назад

    Interesting that you mentioned not separating your money from sales. Don't you have to pay sales tax on your products?

  • @katehenry2718
    @katehenry2718 9 месяцев назад

    There ARE last minute shoppers hoping you are still there 10 minutes before official closing. Relax. Give the last shoppers the same attention as the first ones. They could be your best sale and recommend to their friends to check your internet sales.

    downtime? hand piece. Draft new patterns. cut tiny squares for new quilt.
