A Visit to the UK!

Hello everyone,

We're really pleased with how great Pat Bravo's UK tour went a few weeks ago. We'd like to extend a huge thank you to all who were able to come out and support the Art Gallery Fabrics team, and we hope you enjoyed meeting some of the members in our extremely talented team. 

Along the journey, we stopped at three local fabric shops and hosted one unbelievable conference. And before we take you along on the visual tour, we should give another big thank you to all the incredible shop owners for your superb hospitality. Each location was incredibly different, but all were stunningly beautiful and inspiring.

First up, Sew Me Something!

Pat had the pleasure of demonstrating a few sewing techniques, and had a mini-workshop on how to machine-piece hexagons. So much fun! 

Here are some adorable photos!

The last stop on Pat's mini tour was to chat with local shop owners, magazine editors, and bloggers. During the conference Pat talked about the history of Art Gallery Fabrics, and how her and Walter created the business from the ground up. Based on her experience as a business owner she gave valuable advice for the local businesses be successful.  

After her formal speech she gave an amazing hexie demonstration to all the sewaholics interested. Following the incredible afternoon everyone enjoyed treats and tea while in good company of one-another.
