CreativFestival in Toronto: Set-up Day

CreativFestival is a 3-day show held at the International Convention Centre in Toronto. It is a venue for all types of quilting, sewing, knitting, beading, scrapbooking and more. Set-up day is always busy and often confusing, but as you can see, we did manage to pull everything together.


Here is my booth with quilts all over the place as we start setting up. I always take enough for 2 booths and then wonder why it all won't fit in!

Here is my booth almost all set up and ready to go.

My friend, Janet Rice-Bredin, (Botanical Art Quilts) had a booth right next to mine. Here is what she started with.

And with the help of husband Sid...

...here is Janet's booth all set up.

Watch for more pictures of the show coming soon!

Quilt Market Revisited #5: Fun Stuff

Quilt Market is an exciting but exhausting adventure. We were all very tired on the last night, but after packing our suitcases, a small group of us went went out for dinner.

Here are our friends, Tracey and Helen from Australia.

Here I am with my friends, Tricia (Producer of The Great Canadian Shop Hop) and Janet Rice-Bredin (Botanical Art Quilts).

Here's Sid (Janet's husband, her booth candy, salesman extraordinaire and general handyman who helped many of us with our booths) who was brave enough to tackle dessert after dinner. Of course, Janet was right there, trying to take half of it!

One of our group, who shall remain nameless (at least for now) got the perfect quilter's tattoo.
