BIG NEWS! I've just started selling my FABRIC JEWELS at
Seattle's World Famous Pike Place Market!
The details are at the bottom of this page.

PLEASE NOTE that I am moving on to an E-MAIL ONLY LIST.
My show schedule changes from year to year. If you are not yet on my
E-MAIL list, and would like to stay in touch, please CLICK HERE to sign up! Thanks for your support all of these years - I wouldn't be here without you!

Below is my 2013 schedule. Please check back because there may be additions and there can always be changes.

Since I was on the road last year for about three! months (actually driving for 30 days of it) something had to give! That's why I decided to sell in town at the Pike Place Market and focus on local or nearly local shows. Houston is the exception- too big, too wonderful to miss!

My next show coming up is for WHOLESALE only...

Pike Place Market Details

Artisan crafts are sold from "daystalls". Everyone's location is different each day based on seniority. Since artists spend time making their work, most don't sell every day, so the mix is always fresh and different.

Right now we have plans to be there:
Sunday May 5th
Tuesday May 7th

Then I will be headed to International Quilt Market in Portland so we won't be back at the Market until the last week of May. Once I return from this show I don't have another one until September, so through out the summer I plan to be at the Market steadily 4 - 7 days a week. Once we see how things go I will do my best to clarify.

Tuesday is my regular day. Since Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are the busiest at the Market, those are also some of our preferred days to be there. However, more vendors come those days and we can only get a space when there is no threat of rain. Other vendors like to sell outside the building when it's nice and that gives space for the newbies (me!) inside. I wish I could tell you exact days, but right now you'll have to watch the weather along with us and if it's nice on the weekends we will probably be there- and you will find me, personally, on Tuesdays most likely.

If you're coming down just to find my jewelry, please check back here to see if the schedule has changed, and feel free to give me a call to make sure that one of us will be there.

We usually set up toward the North end of the Market, sometimes on the "Bridge". You can ask around, and look for my sign, which is similar to the one below that says, "Meg Hannan - Rag Sky Art Studio". Keep your eye out also for the brightly colored flag-like table decorations. Our stall is smaller but looks much like the full booth pictured below.

I hope you will visit us and Pike Place Market soon!

25 Years of Shows

I really enjoy direct contact with my customers. For 11 years I did Arts Fairs. I exhibited at many in Seattle, and others about the country, including my all-time favorite, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. In 1997, after a particularly horrific weather event at an outdoor show in Houston, a customer suggested I do the Houston International Quilt Festival. For those of you who don't know, it is the largest quilt festival in the world held annually in October.

I decided to give it a try and drove cross-country to it that same year. What I found was an awesome venue for my Fabric Jewels! It connected me with an enthusiastic, appreciative audience of fiber lovers all! Many Quilt Shows all across the country followed for the next 15 years... and counting.
