On Saturday I am going to take my wares to the local Christmas craft market. This involves a walk of about 50 yards so I don’t think it will be too arduous. Last year I travelled miles for absolutely no return. This year I will stay at home and support my local community. At least if I get cold I can send a runner for a large mug of something hot. I have bought myself a pair of those gloves with cut off fingers – after all I will need to be able to handle the oodles of boodle people will be handing over in return for my wonderful Christmas goodies whilst keeping my fingers warm. Well, I can hope.
I am trying a variety of things – some quilty and some not. I am going to have a few of my dolls on view. These have been seen in the village before and I did sell quite a few through a local shop. Unfortunately when I went overseas and came back I never got back into selling them.
I shall have some of these.
This one and a couple of similar.
I thought I would also have some of my embroidered totes. Very eco-friendly in this ‘bring your own shopper’ age.
I am letting this quilt go too.
I will also be trying to sell my other Sunbonnet Sue quilts as featured in one of my early blogs. These feature —
and—-
and many more.
Maybe a couple of aprons.
Myself and a couple of willing helpers also do a rather smart line in appliquéd shoebags.
A few bags.
I will also be selling some of my patterns and kits for amongst others, ‘Jamie Plays ‘—
Cowboys.
Soldiers.
A touch of patchwork.
Bag kits.
Cot Quilt kits.
I have also been cutting fat quarters in every hue. Just need some customers now. Keeping my fingers crossed.
If you are passing Polperro, which is very difficult, pop in. I can certainly promise you a cheerful, multicoloured stall and I might find you a mug of something hot .
