In previous years I've had much fun at this event--so I gladly accepted. It was good motivation to finish up some projects that had been underway--but not necessarily with a near-term purpose. I had a long arm day already lined up so it was a good excuse to finish up these items & also try some new approaches on the long arm.
Yesterday was the event & I did enjoy my day--saw many old friends, caught up on some news, & sold over $400 of items. Not a bad way to spend a nice, sunny day! It's clear that we are all being more thrifty consumers these days, so I felt fortunate. I always take some of Jim's bowls, too, which are quite a crowd pleaser--even though few were purchased this time.
It takes some organizational skills (that I quickly forget) to get things together for such. So I'm thinking that now I am organized & remembering the process--I might schedule a table at the Farmer's Market harvest fest (last market of the season) & play merchant one more day before the season is over.
Here are the table runners (seven of 'em, front & back) & six placemats that I finished up on day #8 in the long arm studio (all are reversible).

Love that purple table runner and your fabric on the placemats is beautiful. I need to get back to Arlene's. Time and money - that's all I need more of. :-}
