Myself and Molly at the opening of the shop. Molly was more interested in her new friends at Madra to our left. |
This past weekend I spent Saturday (7th Sept) with the shop at the Clarinbridge Market Day. Once a year they transform their town square into a market highlighting all of the local businesses and crafts people in the area. There were jewellers, cupcake makers, antique shops, knitters, bookshops, livestock and veggie vendors. It was so lovely to meet our neighbours, have a chat and peek around at the talent is just at our doorstep.

A table of precuts, bundles, perle and Echio. Yum! Quilts by Rhonda (top) and Erin (bottom) |
What was incredible was the number of younger girls and teens who were into sewing clothes for themselves, their dolls or cushions for their room. That was really unexpected and very cool. There were some new quilting faces and a few familiar friends. Thank you all for coming out and saying hello.

I'm sorry for the bad lighting in the photos. There was no way to get a good photo from outside in the miserable rain back into the dark stall. Please believe me when I say your quilts looked just amazing ladies! Thank you all for your talent and time. xx

Gorgeous shop! I don't know how long to take putting up the shop, but everything looks perfect!
Just think, all your camping adventures were perfect practice for this day :oD Glad it went well after the rain!
What a brilliant way to showcase local businesses! Your shop looks fabulous, of course! The weather was pretty miserable here in N Ireland on Sat too. Glad it cleared up a little later on to let some folks get to know you.
Delighted to hear that once the rain cleared people came along, it's no fun doing an event like that with no punters!
Clearly you were well prepared for the rain, and nice that it cleared up in time. The booth looks great.
Your shop looks so gorgeous!
It's been a while since I had time to browse some of my favourite blogs....and I was not disappointed with my little visit here Cindy. Your colours are so cheery I love all your recent posts. Thanks for sharing! All very inspiring indeed. x
What a pretty set up! Looks stunning! Jxo
Looks like a place I would love to shelter in!
The shop looks fab, and I do hope you sold, and sold, and sold stuff.
