2014 St. Charles Show

 This St. Charles show will be out first cash and carry show! We are located in room 418. It took about 8 hours from Ohio to get here. We actually ended up arriving an hour early because we forgot about the time change. Luckily, the hotel let us check-in early.

 

Our front window with Coffee Sampler & Yummy Treats on display.

 

This being our first show of this kind, we weren't quite sure what to bring. It's definitely a learning experience. First thing we noticed were all the beautiful banners other exhibitors had hanging off the railings outside their rooms. After a quick trip to Walmart to get some burlap, paint and ribbon, viola, we have a banner for less than $10. We are making a list as we set up of items we need to bring for the next show.

 

Spring/Easter designs on display.

Dragons & Geometric designs on display.

 Fall designs on display.

It has been a learning experience for sure. Time to go home and gear up for the Nashville show.

Getting Ready for the St. Charles Show

 

Larry cheesing it up for the camera while cutting threads for Candy Corn Buddy kits. This is the first in the line of a buddy kits.

 

Buttons for Coffee Sampler kit, Yummy Treats, and Sunflowers patterns.

 I spent at least 8 hours doing nothing but cutting fabric for the Coffee Sampler Kit. This was a show exclusive kit but is now available to everyone.

Cut threads for the Coffee Sampler Kit. The Coffee Sampler kit includes: 28 count Tea-Dyed Monaco, threads, handmade coffee bean button, needle and instructions. Pattern uses specialty stitches but instructions are given. They are packaged in an adorable coffee cup. Makes an adorable gift. We still have many of these kits left but once there gone there gone.
