Location and times to see me......
This is the front of the gallery building. There is a parking lot to the right of the building. There is a covered garage across street plus metered parking on the street.
128 E. Park Ave., Charlotte, NC. 28203. Closed Sun. and Mon. The . I will be available to meet you at the First Friday Crawl tonight from 6-9, Sat.2-5 and Thurs. 3-6. We still have some openings in the Mon. and Thurs. classes, click here for info. This photo shows the beautiful sign on the front of the building and a peek at my show. I couldn't get a shot without a reflection of cars parked across the street.
We were having a hard time deciding how to display the mug rugs. We had one side of one of the center wall panels that we could use. We bought zebra stripe grosgrain ribbon and little tiny binder clips and were able to hang 27 of them. Several are displayed top of the pedestals and the rest on platforms in front of the large windows. We had several people looking in at them and sold one already before we even had prices on the merchandise.

Looks great, sorry that I am not closer to see it in
person. Good Luck with everything, I am it will be
a success.
Ah! I hope that early sale is a portent of things to come. Best of luck to you.
Hi Wanda,
How exciting!
From the sneak peak everything looks beautiful.
I predict you will not have to bring any mug rugs home.
Have fun!

I am so happy for you. Have a geat time.
What a creative way to display your mug rugs! I can't believe how lucky I am that you are teaching and showing your quilts in NC.
What a great way to hang the mug rugs! Good luck with everything!
Damn! A sixteen hour nonstop drive from my house to NC. Don't think I'm gonna be able to make it!
Good luck! I hope it's a smashing success!
the mug rug display looks wonderful I think - the grouping looks like art work to me.

Hi Wanda, love the way you put up mug rugs and the space for your quilts lets them shine! The color and light makes them embody hope and life. martha in minnesota
Hi Wanda.

Looking forward!!!!

Wow! That's a great way to start. May it continue in the same way but even more so!
How perfect that you used zebra-print ribbon in your display! :) Seriously, this show is a BIG DEAL! So happy for you!
This is very exciting. I'm so happy for you. I think you're going to be quite successful. Thanks so much for sharing your progress as it's fun to see it all come together.
Wish I lived in North Carolina!
As they say, Wanda....break a leg! Good luck. I know it will be wildly successful.
Not surprised at all that a mugrug has already sold. Your daughter and I had already discussed that they would be long gone by the Thursday class. Seeing the great displays now and taking into account First friday Crawl, I think they'll be gone tonight !
Everything just looks beautiful.
Thanks for the insight...and love the one where the truck disappears into the quilt like "Through the Looking Glass"...
Nice display with your Mug Rugs...
O Wanda, of only - I live in Australia....next time????
Zebra ribbon - how utterly perfect!
Fabulous looking display . . .
I am there with you in spirit, even though I'm stuck at my desk in TN. I would MUCH rather be in NC!!!!!
How exciting Wanda! Everything looks wonderful!!
Wishing you great success!!
I am enjoying the progress of the setting up for your show. I was hoping you would be posting each day for those of us that are sitting here behind our computer screens unable to be there in person.
The white walls and pedestals really brings out the beauty of each of your creations.
Ciel Gallery can be proud ... after all YOU are their first big Quilting Celebrity to show there..

Ingenious (and beautiful) display of the rug mugs and from what I can glimpse of the rest of the display, it all looks incredibly fabulous. You must be thrilled. I have no doubt that your audience will be.
That was a good idea for displaying the mug rugs. They look wonderful! The gallery is a beautiful setting for your glowing artworks.
I'm signed up for the class tomorrow morning, can't wait! Charlotte is such a big city (compared to where I live), and so intimidating, hope I don't have any trouble finding the right place.
Wow...looking wonderful! Looking forward to your class on Monday!
Nothing to do now but smile...:)
It all looks wonderful.
An Artsy display - really shows them off.
I love the mug rugs displayed like this. YOu can always replace them as people buy them.!
I am a little late in commenting but hope this weekend was great for your show. The display of your items looks fantastic. I hope all is going well and you are selling a bunch.
I love how you decided to display your mug rugs! They look fantastic together as a series. Hope your show went very well. It looks fabulous.
