Surtex is a big deal. A really big deal! And I can hardly believe that I will actually be exhibiting. (Insert image of me shaking in my boots here...) If you're not familiar with Surtex, it's a tradeshow held in NYC in conjunction with the National Stationary Show and the International Contemporary Furniture Fair. Close to 300 artists will have their artwork on display at Surtex for the 6000 or so show attendees who are manufacturers and companies looking for new art to license for whatever goods they manufacture. So breaking through and getting yourself noticed is no small feat. I'm so excited about the opportunity to meet companies who want to partner together to create products with my art that will knock the socks off consumers.
So that's what I've been a busy little beaver working on for the last few months. That's of course in addition to all the fun fabric in my etsy store and the launch of Tufted Tweets with Robert Kaufman Fabrics.
Speaking of Tufted Tweets, I'm thinking it's time for a giveaway, no?!? :)
Come back Monday 4/26 for a look at the insanely beautiful and totally gorgeous quilt the uber-talented Ashley from Film in the Fridge made to showcase Tufted Tweets at Quilt Market in May!! And the coolest part is that the quilt pattern will be available for download on the Robert Kaufman website in the next few weeks. You will not believe how gorgeous it is. AND I'll be giving away some Tufted Tweets on Monday too!! So make sure you come back Monday, it will be worth the trip!

Hi Laurie
You don't know me, well we may have communicated a few times, but I have seen your work on Spoonflower and Etsy. I just wanted to tell you how excited I am for you and the opportunities that have and are coming your way! Congratulations on all your hard work and the resulting opportunities Good luck in NY!!!
I really love your new fabric line, and as soon as I saw it, I knew it was destined to be made into a quilt for my home. I am really excited to see Ashleys pattern. Thank you for designing such beautiful fabric!
Laurie,
Looking forward to meeting you at SURTEX. As the publicist for the show, I was so pleased to read that you've prepared press materials. Smart girl! As for giveaways at SURTEX - have you considered that? - you might want to consider a Tufted Tweet something or other. Your call.
Well I think that you know how much I love your stuff!!! I have been super duper excited to FINALLY be able to get my hands on some of your gorgeous designs (well other than from your etsy shop, your talent should be in more than just there)...
have a great time at SURTEX and just enjoy it all....stop and smell the roses :)) cause before long you will be off and running again...
Tufted Tweets is gorgeous!
You're such a talent, really. Now everybody's gonna know about it.
Good luck at Surtex, Laurie. I've walked through it and it is daunting. But I have no doubt in my mind that you will shine bright!
We're so excited to get the Tufted Tweets at our store. We were the reps first order but he says it's being very well received.
You're on the brink of stardom. Enjoy it.
Good luck on your booth, press materials and all that goes into Surtex to stand out. You are an inspiration & I hope to be joining you there next year!
Knock em' out,
Sarah
Oh, one more thing. Please take photos of your booth and share with us!
