\t\t\t\tDid you visit the \u201cHappy Booth\u201d <\/em>at Road 2018?<\/p>\n\n\nSandy and Joe Fitzpatrick, owners of Hissyfitz Designs<\/a> of North Carolina, says what sets them apart is that their unique applique designs are \u201cso happy,\u201d \u201cwhimsical,\u201d and easy to do.\"quilt<\/a>\nThe first question many customers ask Sandy and Joe is, \u201cHow did you come up with your company name?\u201d\u00a0 Sandy shares that she grew up the youngest of five girls and had a lot of \u201chissy fits\u201d growing up. Combine that with their last name, and that is how HIssyfitz was born.\nA quilter for over 20 years, when Sandy began creating her own quilt applique designs, they were quickly noticed \u2013 and requested \u2013 by members of her quilt guild. Her patterns became so popular that she began selling them at quilt shows. Sandy says that her goal today \u201cis to get as many of the quirky designs, that are spinning around in her head, down on paper\u201d to as many people as possible to enjoy.\nThe Fitzpatrick\u2019s have been married 41 years. A former Air Force soldier, Joe became the CEO (Carry Everything Out) <\/em>of Hissyfitz when Sandy began selling her patterns at quilt shows.\"quilt<\/a>\nRoad to California 2018 was Hissyfitz\u2019s first time at the show. It was also the first time they had ever flown <\/em>to a quilt show. Because they didn\u2019t want them out of their sight, Sandy and Joe hand carried <\/em>all of the quilts on display in their booth on the airplane. The quilts took up space in two carry-on luggage pieces and two back packs. The rest of their booth items (the business stuff) was packed in to four checked bags.\"quilt<\/a>\nBoth Sandy and Joe had a terrific time at Road 2018. \u201cThe sunshine was great, the crowds were good, and the people were friendly.\u201d \u00a0One of their customers, Mackenna, remarked how because Hissyfitz had previously only been on the East Coast, she liked being introduced to their cute quilt applique patterns at Road.\"quilt<\/a>\nRoad 2019 attendees will not only have the chance to visit the show\u2019s \u201chappiest booth \u201cagain but can look forward to taking a class from Sandy too. Her class schedule will be announced \u2013 along with all the other Road 2019 quilt show teachers<\/a> \u2013 in mid-June, 2018.\n ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
