CreativFest Through the Years

A note from Brenda:  I’ve been a fixture at CreativFest over the past few years, so pre-2017 blogs are gathered here into a single post. They appear in reverse chronological order, going back to Spring 2012.

Fun At Festival

April 29, 2015

I’ve just returned from CreativFestival in Mississauga, Ontario this past weekend. Kathy, my sister-in-law accompanied me and we had a great time meeting with many of our past customers while making connections with new customers. One of the things I like to do at shows is encourage everyone to subscribe to my newsletter called The Scratching Post. You’ll see the newsletter subscription button along the right hand column on this page. If you are a shop, subscribe to the Wholesale newsletter, otherwise subscribe to the retail newsletter. We’ve got a brand new pattern in The Scratching Post for a Cross-body Phone Bag. Be sure to subscribe and start sewing this new bag!

CreativFestival Time Again!

March 9, 2014

All things creative are taking place April 25th and 26th in Toronto for the spring edition of CreativFestival.

This show is bursting at the seams with sumptuous fibres, fabrics and yarns; luxurious beads; fabulous papers, notions and embellishments; trend-setting patterns (by me of course!; handcrafted gifts of distinction and more!

From trendy to vintage and fashionable to functional, there’s something for everyone, beginner or seasoned pro. For 2 days only indulge your creativity and passion for sewing, knitting, felting, quilting, beading, stitching, crocheting, scrapbooking, embellishing, crafting and other creative art forms.

Shop for all the latest Among Brenda’s Quilts patterns, bag hardware and more at booth 323. We look forward to meeting you there!

CreativFestival Spring 2013

March 28, 2013

Spring on over to my booth number 367 on April 26th and 27th at the CreativFestival in Mississauga, Ontario.

See you there!

CreativFestival Time in Toronto

September 6, 2012

Visit me at booth 801 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, October 12, 13,& 14th for CreativFestival. This show is dedicated to helping you create your own personal style. There’s quilting, sewing and so much more for the 20,000 attendees that come to enjoy this incredible show!

I’ll be teaching a sponsored class where we’ll be making a unique firm sided ipad cover with a crazy quilted front. This is a sponsored class so the kit is included for a cost of just $5. Join me for this fun 2 hour workshop entitled ‘Crazy Quilting: Cover Your Assets” on Saturday from 3 to 5 p.m.

CreativFestival Spring 2012

May 1, 2012

I’m just back from my first stint at CreativFestival in Toronto, Ontario, Canada where I met a lot of you for the very first time. It was great to be there so those of you I hadn’t met could finally put a face to my pattern name. Family member Eilene Patterson came along to help out during the show. Thanks go out to Eilene for her hard work and to all of you who came and checked out my patterns!

See you there!
