Checker Distributor
62 Anniversary
Open House
The photos below are of the displays that were arranged on the end caps in the warehouse. Remember this is the warehouse, not the showroom. I'll publish photos of those soon.62 Anniversary
Open House
For those of you who are not familiar with Checker Distributors, they are a supplier for Independent Quilting and Needle Art Stores. They recently had their Open House and I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in the classes and see the demonstrations.
To set the scene, Checker is a big warehouse with a showroom and offices. Over the past 6 or 8 weeks the folks at Checker have been remodeling the showroom. The showroom, in my opinion, was very nice before they began the remodeling. Now it is extra "really nice" :) Every time I have gone in to pick up an order there have been no less than 4 women moving displays and re-organizing until they got it just the way they wanted it. Their hard work certainly paid off because when everyone arrived for their Open House the entire place was beautiful and in it's place. (I'd love for them to come and do my house/office....I bet I can't afford them!!!)
I only took 356 photos in the two days I was there so I'm going to have to post in chapters!!! Stay tuned :)
Smiles,
Kelly
Pretty neat place to see what's new in the quilting world.
ReplyDeleteyou 'only' took 356 photos? I'd say what you've posted so far is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow... I would be so overwhelmed, for sure. Not knowing where to begin.
ReplyDeleteHow do you handle it? Do you use the photos as a purchasing guide?
Sounds like fun. They also look very organized. Love the displays. Eager to see the remaining photos (350?).

I am familiar with Checkers. I have been tempted to open a shop just so I can buy from them at wholesale prices! Ha ha.
ReplyDeleteThey have a nice warehouse. We do not have that store here.
