Checker Open House

The It's Sew Emma team recently took a trip to Ohio for the Checker Open House for our very first show! Each year, the lovely people at Checker Distributors open up their warehouse to stores and invite certain pattern and notions companies to show off their stuff. We were really honored to be one of the invited vendors this year, and they really rolled out the red carpet for us. We had so much fun chatting with other pattern companies, meeting store owners and promoting our very favorite quilt patterns! We also got to show off the new Quilty Fun book by Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet, which will be here before you know it! (Pre-order your copy here.) We wanted to share some photos, so keep reading for scenes from Checker Open House!
