Bestsellers at Festival

Well, we have one more day on the big, big Quilt Festival floor. Today is Sunday and it is traditionally a day for lots and lots of lookers at Festival.

I did do the numbers for the first three days yesterday afternoon during a lull in the action and it looks like our preliminary bestsellers are:

The Zelda Hat -- an elegant hat for girls & women and our newest knitting design
Knitcushion Kits -- a periennial Quilt Festival favorite
Potholder Play -- our kitchen design book
Here's the link to purchase these items, although The Zelda Hat is so new that it is not up on the website yet. http://www.graywooddesigns.com/
I was thrilled to find Ruth Mundy's crazy quilted piece, On The Edge of Gold, right at the entrance to the exhibit on crazy quilting sponsored by the Alliance for American Quilts. You can see this quilt in my previous blog post which I posted from my cellphone.
Today I will take more photos of Ruth's quilt for her so she can get an idea of the scope of Quilt Festival. Ruth is from Elkton, Michigan which is also hometown to Graywood's Danielle Damen.
