Highlights and Winners at the Fab Shop Dinner
Nov 10th, 2008 by Penny Haren
The Fab Shop dinner is the kick off event for Market each year, Fab Shop offers quilt shops across the country information, class ideas, and a support system to make their businesses more successful.Â
Â
Let the party begin…..                                          Â
The folks at Fab Shop know how to throw a party – always with a theme – that guarantees a fun and entertaining night! This year, Checker sponsored two tables – for double the fun! Spending an evening with our customers – and learning what we can do to make our business better – is the perfect beginning to a busy week!

Rob Krieger – the President of Checker
This year, Checker joined forces with June Taylor to provide one of the highlights of the auction – a Quilter’s Dream Wall. When two shops decided to combine their “funny money: and  join forces to bid on it, June Taylor decided to award it to BOTH stores! Generosity like that is why they are one of the top companies in our industry! Â
Congratulations to the lucky winners!
