Creative Needlework Market - Post Two

This is a booth that everyone runs to when the market opens.

Fabric Finders

They bring lots of fabric and also have a special sale section.

These bolts of fabric go fast….come early for best selection.

Products From Abroad is an interesting Booth.

Lots of pretty and neat trims.

I hope the shop near you brought home a box of French Ribbon like this.

They are all so pretty.

The blue with pink roses is my favorite.

Ginger Snap Designs was also at Market. 

She had lots of cute samples and all her patterns and books available for purchase.

There were more booths that I didn't get a chance to photograph.

My Old Fashioned Baby Booth.

I think we all had a real good time!

Creative Needlework Market - Fun!

Welcome to "The Old Fashioned Baby" Booth at the Creative Needlework Market!

Wholesale - For the trade.  

Ask your shop keeper what they brought home!

It was held in Birmingham this past weekend.

I had all my goodies to sell, including vintage buttons.

I have so many buttons that are only available at market.

And I had special Market prices!

And garments displayed for inspiration.

This is the lacy version of my pattern Baby Rose.

I have a few pictures of other booths too.

Farmhouse Fabrics had a booth across from me so I got to see all the fun trims they brought with them to sell.

And the samples they brought to show the cute ways you can use them.

Seeing garment samples is one of the reasons you come to market.

It gives you ideas to bring home to your customers.

And the opportunity to purchase just the items you need to duplicate the samples.

One of my favorite booths is…of course... Capitol Imports.

Purveyor of fine lace and fabric.

Do I love lace?

You bet!

Capitol Imports always brings something to tempt me.

And at special prices not available for purchase any other way.

See more on my next post….

Cute Baby at the Creative Needlework Market!

Little Claire with the Big Blue Eyes came to visit my booth!

Warnings to any sweet little baby who comes near enough for me to pop one of my garments on her! Just so I can admire the combination -  Cute Baby and Old Fashioned Baby Clothes!

She was happy to do it!

The Bonnet is one of the views in my Christening Bonnet Collection pattern.

Bonnet Back.

Close up of the Rosette.  I like to stick a little pearl button in the center of my Rosettes.

I love pictures of Mother and Child!

They are quite content in each others company.

The Handmade Dress has a cute booth at market!

Baby Claire is the baby from The Handmade Dress.  A pattern company and also a fellow blogger.

I Went to the Birmingham Creative Needlework Market

This little girl went to Market!! I go as a Vender, showing my Old Fashioned Baby products, but I also go to see what is available, what is new, what the fabric and lace looks  and feels like up close and personal.  I look for fabric, trims and lace that inspire me.  I need things to use with my new designs and like to have beautiful things on hand to choose from!   It was a great market with some new venders, new customers and alot of excitment about sewing  heirloom garments as well as play clothes. Guess who came to my booth??  It was an Old Fashioned Baby!!  And a very cute one too!

 Cute little Baby with her big brother is wearing French Bonnet from Baby Bonnets One  and  Baby Rose Raglan Dresses.

I took a few picture of some of the companies we all know and love, but did not have time to take more pictures and there were tons of companies and designers you would love to visit with.

Ginger, from The Childrens Corner is in her booth showing the customers what is new and just how cute everything is when it is made up!  It is so much fun to see their garments in person and see which fabrics they choose when sewing up their creations.

The Old Fashioned Baby Booth!!(notice they mis spelled my name!! bad!)  All my patterns, Jewelry, Book and tons of Mother of Pearl Buttons!

Jeannie's design with Maline Lace,  featured in Sew Beautiful Magazine

Lace! Lace! Lace!

We all love lace!  And there were three of the Lace companies showing and selling their products.  You would think you'd died and gone to Lace Heaven!!

Here are Cyndy and Moe, owners of Capitol Imports.  They took time during a lull at  market  to pose for me in front of their booth.  They are always working to get  us even more fabric and lace designs in the best  quality and the best  price too! Beautiful Lace - Lovely Lace - Love their Lace!

Bear Threads owners Jim and Sheila Nicol along with Bear Threads namesake were busy showing customers their  wonderful  laces and fabrics.  They even have the hard to find "Handloom"  swiss embroideries available to customers.  Heavenly Lace, Lovely Lace, Love their Lace!

Elizabeth at The 1752 Company was busy every time I made the loop around market so I am showing you one of their lovely  Embroidered Nettings.  They are known for their English Nettings and have more than any other lace company.  They also carry others laces. !!!Love their Nettings!!! Love their Lace!!

What was HOT at Market!!??!!

Besides the new Old Fashioned Baby Patterns, that is.

These Buttons were going like Hot Cakes!!  They look like large M&M candies but are Dot Buttons.  Jeanne Rogers Wamack (of the Smocking Plate fame) had these packaged in bags with tons of different colors.  This is a sample of some of them.  They are so neat because they are NOT shank.  There is a little hole that goes from one side of the button to the other  and doesn't show.  It makes the buttons so easy to sew onto fabric. They are about 7/8" wide. She had cute ideas about how to use them as an embellishment on childrens clothing and other things. I know some of you already know things you would want to use them for, just by looking at them.  Check with your local shop, if they don't have them, call Jeanne at 205 823-1514

This was a Wholesale market and many Shop owners were busy selecting exquisite lace and fabric, patterns and anything a person could want.  Their shops should be loaded with goodies as they put out their precious stock!  Ask your local shop what they brought back from Market??
