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.

The (real) booth photo may be 2004, but it looks just as irresistible as if it were going to be 2010!
I'm heading down to the show next week...first time at Houston for me!
What a concept..

Have fun! I wish I could be there too!
Barbara - Pep says just to tell Dottie to ketch up. :) Sorry bout that.
Great photos. You are right about the dogs being a draw. The dog-and-stars quilt behind you in the booth is sure to be a best seller too ! :)
Love your photos', have a great time at market, I wish I could be there. The Radio Flyer with the pups is too sweet. Good luck at market I know you will have long lines and make lots of quilters happy!!

Laughed WITH the little dachshund!
Poor Dottie, she looks so indignant!! Got to love the expressiveness of a dog's face :-)
