I pile quilts on a table hoping to see the perfect combination of color, size, and style. Too many quilts, too many colors, too many sizes. It’s never an easy decision.
Display guidelines rattle my brain in the selection process. Keep the display clean. Make sure your table is inviting.
Guiding Question: Are you selling books or quilts?
Answer: Yes! I’m selling books. The Hustings is a family saga written across two novels.
Thought – I need to have room for the sign. Or not. Maybe it will take up too much space.
Answer: Yes! I sell quilts, specifically A Book & A Blanket.
Anyone who buys a quilt can cozy up with a free copy of The Hustings: A Family Web, the first book in a family saga. Every good book needs a blanket . . . and maybe a cup of tea.

Oh, but there’s more to consider.
Christmas lovers will enjoy a new table topper, an advent calendar ready to fill with treats, a quilted pad to put under dishes on the table, or maybe embroidered tree ornaments.
These items have to be prominent at holiday shows. Don’t they?
Show preparation is just like writing a novel. There will be something good at the end of the chaos.
