At our March 5th meeting we held a "Quilter's Bazaar", a chance for members to sell their extra fabrics, books, notions and more.
We also had Val selling her "African Threads" jewelry and more, Laurie had her Laurie Swim Art Quilt cards, fine art prints and her book and Jamie had her Japanese paper and her handmade books.
Business was brisk at all the tables, quilters bought and sold more fabric. Stashes were replenished!
The event was a great success and we hope to have this again, perhaps later in the spring and on a Saturday. Wtch this space for more news!
Many thanks to Sandra R and Cathy for taking pictures for me as I couldn't be there. See more of the photos in our MBQG Flickr Photostream.
I think your bazaar idea is great – it moves fabric off to those who have need for it and helps members purge their stashes of items that they aren’t so fond of anymore. Great idea!
