vendors

There were hundreds and hundreds of vendors. I'm told the Houston show is even bigger, but this one was way big enough for three days. I can't imagine an even bigger show! Lots of sewing machines, lots of tools, lots of finished goods, threads, patterns, embellishments (though maybe fewer of these than years past?), and tons of FABRIC..........................

This booth had all sorts of imported textiles. This cloth was generous-shawl-size, and was completely embroidered as you see. I can't imagine how many hours went into it, and fear that its maker was paid less than 1 cent per hour.......
















This excellent stuff was dyed by Jeanette's Fabric to Dye For.





















This scrumptious booth was all arranged by color. The aggregate was very pleasing to the eye, and the individual goodies were tempting, as well.
