Trunk Shows
Attention All Shop Owners and Guilds! Book a fabulous Dragonfly Fiberart trunk show! We bring all the fun and samples to you. Also keep us in mind for your Shop Hop! We have great ideas for themes and special pricing for patterns.
Schedule a lively event for your shop or guild. Great opportunity for Saturday samplers where we can demonstrate new tools and techniques as well as a full trunk show of our wonderful quilts and runners. For guild presentations, format can be worked into a one hour format. Choose from The Great Traveling Tote Bag Trunk Show, The Art of The Small Quilt, Perfect Mistakes and Other Design Journeys, Beating Your Stash Before It Eats You, Table Runners Galore or Seasonal Fun Projects. We plan a Trunk Show to run about 1 to 1-1/2 hours, with time allowed for questions and answers and of course a raffle of goodies! We also love to do these in conjunction with a workshop or class.
A wide range of machines have been used on the bags including the following brands: Bernina, Babylock, Brother, Singer, Viking and Janome. Let's get folks excited about the machines they own or are considering the purchase of. Everyone gets a free pattern to take home as well as a handout which covers the highlights of the discussion for future reference. If you are a machine reseller, we speak to your particular brand when describing accessories such a feet and tools.
For more information, please contact us and we will tailor an event for you!

X-Block, Hexes, Triangles, Paper Piecing, fun techniques like Disappearing Nine Patch, Raw Edge Applique With Style, Quilt As You Go, Block Border Bonanza are all great skill builders.
