What is a Trunk Show?

 

In my world, a trunk show is a situation where

I send out original works to a shop so they can

display them.  Patterns always sell better when

there is a sample.  Shop owners do not have time

to make a sample of every pattern they buy.  This

collection is shipping out this morning and will be

traveling around the country for the month of

September going to various quilt shows.  I try to

include examples of various colors, I show the

feltworks as ornaments, décor, framed and as

pincushions.  I mainly work in wool felt but I show

one done in felted wool for those that prefer that.

I also send an example of one made with beading.

If anyone is interested in an American Homestead

trunk show, just email me at:

Sorry for the uninspired photo but this was shot

just to show what will be sent in the package.
