It’s taken a few days to recover and to unpack all our materials, but we’re finally back from Quilt Market. It was a great show.<\/p>\n
Some of you have already seen a few photos on our Facebook page<\/a> and on Twitter<\/a>. Here are some additional shots of our booth just before the show opened. I really should do a better job of photographing it, shouldn’t I? I was just too busy thinking about the final set-up and all those people who were about to descend on our booth to worry about getting anything other than a couple of snapshots.<\/p>\nHalf of our space was devoted to Oliver + S. The other half was used to introduce Straight Stitch Society to store owners.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\nWe were absolutely inundated on the first day, and all our cute “Life is hard. Sewing is easy.” pins and postcards and other schwag to introduce Straight Stitch Society<\/a> were gone by the early afternoon. It was fun to introduce people to the new brand and to see their faces light up when they read the manifesto<\/a>. Lots of chuckles and guffaws in our booth during this show. My cheeks hurt by the end of the weekend. Too much smiling!<\/p>\nThank to everyone who dropped by. My favorite part of Quilt Market is meeting new friends and catching up with long-time friends. It’s definitely a trade show, but seeing so many dear friends makes it feel less business-y and more like a big reunion! To show you what I mean, here’s a picture that Denyse Schmidt took one afternoon when she stopped by our booth. There’s Todd taking a photo of Ellen March, editor of Sew News, and me holding a copy of Ellen’s most recent issue which features my Lisette mixing print article<\/a> on the cover.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\nAnd, finally, here’s a little Moda video from the booth. Can you tell I had some coffee that morning? And that I don’t usually drink coffee? Whew.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/object><\/p>\n <\/p>\nNow it’s time to get a little rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s taken a few days to recover and to unpack all our materials, but we’re finally back from Quilt Market.

We were absolutely inundated on the first day, and all our cute “Life is hard. Sewing is easy.” pins and postcards and other schwag to introduce Straight Stitch Society<\/a> were gone by the early afternoon. It was fun to introduce people to the new brand and to see their faces light up when they read the manifesto<\/a>. Lots of chuckles and guffaws in our booth during this show. My cheeks hurt by the end of the weekend. Too much smiling!<\/p>\nThank to everyone who dropped by. My favorite part of Quilt Market is meeting new friends and catching up with long-time friends. It’s definitely a trade show, but seeing so many dear friends makes it feel less business-y and more like a big reunion! To show you what I mean, here’s a picture that Denyse Schmidt took one afternoon when she stopped by our booth. There’s Todd taking a photo of Ellen March, editor of Sew News, and me holding a copy of Ellen’s most recent issue which features my Lisette mixing print article<\/a> on the cover.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\nAnd, finally, here’s a little Moda video from the booth.
