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.
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
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
