Puppy Baby Bricks Quilt

Baby Bricks is one of our patterns and one of my favorite.  It is a fantastic looking baby quilt and we have made and will make many more in the future.  I found this cute puppy fabric, while I was out looking for a completely different colored material. I had to buy it and had to make this quilt.

If you love this quilt you can buy it on our Etsy store and if your a quilter like me I will give the pattern free to any one that visits our pattern on Craftsy and leaves a nice comment and then comes back here leaving a comment so that I can send you the pattern.  Make sure if you want a pattern to leave your email (I get many no reply bloggers that ask for patterns) so that I can get it too you.

Sea Squares a Simple Squares Quilt

This quilt uses fabric from Salt Water by Tula Pink. We won the charm packs in a giveaway last august from Leona's Quilting Adventure.  Even the back off white has seashells to complete the ocean theme.  The pattern used in this quilt is our simple squares pattern (though the block sizes was bigger then the pattern its the same pattern).  It worked out well for using these charm squares on.

There were four leftover squares that got added to the back.   The binding came from leftovers we used in a quilt for Julia.  It was hard to tell it wasn't picked specifically for it.

As you can see, it was quilted in circles.  It reminds me of the ripple of water.

Tanya refers to this quilt as Sea Squares.

Craft Fair Successes and No Sales!

Saturday we finally did it.  What did we do? Oh ya, we attempted to sell some quilts by putting a both at a out door boutique that was held in Millcreek area, here in the Salt Lake Valley.  As for the success, this is our first attempt to set up a booth and I think we did a fantastic job.  We had tables, quilts, patterns, and some chairs to sit in.  What did we not have?  Any customers! There were under 30 people who were not vendors there.

Well  it was not all was bad, I had a good chair and a good book.  I would have been  happier if there was any one that showed up to the Craft Fair.  Its location was changed shortly before the scheduled date.  Those that put this on, it was their first time putting one on.  They tried hard, but the location mostly sucked and you can't help that.

Have any of you done a craft fair before and either succeeded well or failed as bad?
