Wow... What a whirlwind week in Houston. Hurricane Sandy sure did take the wind out of the sales of attendance this year. Many of the shop owners and buyers in attendance this year took early flights home in order to ensure they were able to arrive back home before the storm. That meant many flew by the booths and collected materials to take home rather than taking their time to shop.
I was just grateful so many took the time to attend my Schoolhouse class and stop by the booth to say hi. Many complimented me on the booth design, my books and methods and my general energy in class. It seems many were really excited by the prospects of using their scraps.
I was able to return home as planned on Tuesday after the storm passed. My flights to Atlanta and DC remained right on time. Many thanks to Delta Airlines for making that happen as planned. I am, however, still waiting for the truck to arrive with the trunk show, books and patterns. Expected arrival is Friday but I have not received confirmation... so that means I have been unable to ship orders out this week and will begin on Monday morning.
A great big wonderful thank you to everyone who made our first market a success. I am so excited to talk to all of you again and here what you have done with my designs at your store. Follow up emails should be coming next week as well. Also, check the website calendar for updates on classes and trunk shows. I will let you know where we will be appearing next... as soon as possible. Also be on the lookout for new books and patterns premiering soon. Going on sale by March 2013. There are plenty of new looks on the design wall. I am excited to show you everything that I have come up with for the new year and all the new products we are hoping to work with as well.
Happy Quilting!
