Re: Winning and Selling!
Congratulations on your win! It is also good to sell a few things. Our
next quilt show is in 2008, and I'm already working on things to sell. At
the last show, my work counted for about 1/4 of the boutique sales. Our
boutique works on donations and also consignment items. It is really well
stocked for the size of the guild and the size of the show.

The Northern Lake County Quilters Guild (in Illinois) had its biennial
show
this weekend.
I won first place in "bed size/machine quilted" and I sold two quilts
totalling $375!
Woohoo!
