I love how your displays show more of the quilt. My mother & I also sell quilts and table runners and it seems we sell more of our quilts after the customer has opened them up. You just can't appreciate how beautiful a quilt is when its folded up. I also would like to know the dimensions of your display.

Beautiful work. I think my favorite is the dark blue tree.

Your work is beautiful. What I have found in attending craft shows is that people are looking for "cheap stuff" and don't want to pay for the workmanship. I am wondering if the term "Art Show - Various mediums" would encourage people spend more money - after all when they REALIZE this IS actually ART...

Your display looks great, sorry your sales didn't show your work, but sounds like you promoted quilting in a great way.

The width of each section is 30 inches. Height of each section is different. We wrote the length of each upright section on the pipe so it would be easy to assemble. We glued the connectors to the cross pieces but can pop the upright pieces out and they all fit into a fabric bag. Hope this helps!

Beautiful thread work! I think part of the problem is in the titles. Most people come to "craft shows" with the idea of "inexpensive, homemade" mind sets. They go to "Art Shows" with "individual, created, more expensive" mind sets. I think you and your DH need to find an Art Show. Your creations are wonderful!
