Pumpkin Panic of 2010
After positive feedback from my pumpkin-buying friend, I made 18 more pumpkins. Brought them into work to show another gal, who brought another gal with her, and now I am left with 6 pumpkins for my show two days from now. I stitched up more last night, but they need to be stuffed and finished. I also ran out of ceratin fabrics (it's not like I can run to the local quilt shop for more antique fabric) and had to pull out some alternates. I know how the banks must have felt in 1929.

So the pumpkin shortage that Christine told us all about a short while ago doesn't just apply to the canned variety? Good luck getting ANY of them to the craft show! (And good luck at the craft show as well.)
ReplyDeleteThey were so cute, I can see why there was a 'run' on them!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that your primitive pumpkins have struck a chord. They are the must-have item for Fall 2010. Congratulations!

Doesn't that just drive you crazy? The same thing used to happen to me, only it was family who cleaned me out and usually just days before a craft show. On the other hand, it is great to sell what you have made.

The object of making the pumpkins was to SELL them, right? So that's what you've done, very successfully! Of course, I know you wanted to have a good number of them for the show, but don't worry too much about where the money comes from; just take it to the bank! *wink* ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteCongratulations--that a good problem to have. Best of luck at the show and good luck replenishing your antique fabric stash.
