The June program features Terri Blaylock of Blaylock Designs, Rosehill, KS. The program will highlight Terri’s past experience as a fabric sales representative. She will take us behind the scenes of fabric manufacturing, printing, dying and shipping. What are the needs and wants of quilt shop owners to satisfy their customers? And will it sell? Are designer or fabric brands important? How may you, the customer, be an influence on what the shop owner purchases? Terri will share a few fabric cards used to represent fabric lines.
Terri is one of KLQ’s longarm quilters for hire. A complete list of those quilters can be featured on this page.
