Quilt Market Virtual Booth 2010

It's Quilt Market time in Houston.

Karla, Deb and I used to have a booth.

Here we are in 2004

But lately we've had to resort to a virtual booth.

This year our plan is genius.

The more people you get into your booth,

the more sales you make.

Right?

Dogs are chick magnets.

Ergo....a booth full of dogs,

including our own, Dottie Barker, the Dachshund in the front of the booth photo, and Barkley in Deb's lap. We also are taking Minnie, Georgann's poodle, who is pictured in the center quilt.

This is probably why there is a market rule against live animals.

Everyone would be competing to have the cutest pettable puppy.

Market IS on Halloween weekend.

This is not Dottie. She will not wear her Hot Dog costume.

Something about her dignity, she says.

Well, we got a virtual dispensation and are planning to bring a virtual wagonload of puppies.

In reality, we'll be hanging out in the Moda booth, the Kansas City Star booth and the lounge.

And will report back about actual happenings at Market.
