We arrived bright and early to set up in our assigned spot. There was a small issue in that we were wedged between two trees. Thank goodness the weather was predicted to be sunny as it would have been impossible to get the sides/walls up with all of those branches.
Even though we were grunting while setting up the canopy (and even had to do a little pruning!) we were delighted with how the branches and leaves softened the stall and made it more homey. It was beautiful! The quilts by Emily, Rhonda, Lynz and Annabella were out front on display to draw folks in.
Our neighbors were SUPER cute...
and VERY chatty.
The stall was packed full of fat quarters and bundles....
....and more bundles and perle. Even a few charm packs to liven things up!
Because there were tree branches and we liked the light coming into the stall, we hung the quilts (by Fiona and Lucy) gathered up. I love how this looked. People were interested in them, too! They came fully into the stall, pulled them down, had a full inspection. I love that they were appreciated.
All in all, we had a great day. The weather was spectacular so the entire town was out to have a look, chat with friends, and pick up a delicious treat for lunch. The stall was packed all day, so we met some wonderful local sewists and quilt appreciators.
I couldn't think of a better way to spend a sunny Saturday. Thank you to all who came to the market and made it such a success!

Hi Cindy! Thank you for a beautiful post! Your shop between the trees looks amazing! I see some NEW Fabrics there and the way you have them in those big 'iron baskets' gives me a good idea. They look fantastic like that! I hope you had good sell, too! x Teje
looks like it was a fun day as well as a successful day. Glad the weather was good for you .
What a beautiful space even if the trees needed a hug to co-operate ;-) Your stall is so attractive - I know I wouldn't have been able to resist!
Wonderful. I would love to have a chance to buy gorgeous fabric like this at such an event. x
Sorry I missed it Cindy it looks great. I was in Dublin at the hurling final
great to hear it went well! x
The stall looks so gorgeous. And it is wonderful what a difference a little sunshine makes to bring people out. Hopefully lots of new customers were found over the day. Your selection of fabrics looks wonderful.
I have friends that are visiting Ireland right now. Each time they post a photo, I realize how much I haven't seen.
I loved doing outdoor shows when the weather cooperated. You must have sacrificed a pretty to the weather gods!
Shop looks great - so much gorgeous fabric!
What a fantastic, inviting booth! I would have loved to have been there to shop in person.
Sounds like a really lovely community day! Your stall is pure eye candy! Jxo
So poor Molly does not get the donkey to play with? did she get some of your neighbors instead?
It was a great day!
Wow Cindy, your stall looks absolutely amazing, bright and colourful! Wish I lived a tiny bit nearer but then again I could have possibly bankrupt myself buying your fabric ;)
sounds like such a wonderfully delightful way to spend a sunny Saturday, just perfect.
It all sounds fabulous!! Those tables of fat quarters look very inviting, and I can see why people were looking at the quilts. Such cute neighbours!
That sounds like a lot of fun!
Such a pretty stall. Glad it worked well in spite of the foliage!
Not only do you make lovely quilts you make a pretty and inviting booth too - I'm sure everyone wanted to move in
What fun!
Your stall looks wonderful - so friendly and welcoming!
Those trees really add something to the stall! Glad you had a good day!
I'm kind of sad that Molly doesn't have a new donkey friend, but glad the day went well!
