hard to believe patchwork is celebrating it’s 6th year! our first show in santa ana had a mere 25 vendors in a parking lot, now we’ve grown to two shows a year (spring and fall) in each of our locations: santa ana, long beach and culver city. our santa ana show is dear to our hearts as this is where it all began. patchwork santa ana 2012 had a record breaking number of attendees and our new location was so perfect, the downtown arts district of santa ana. it was our best show yet… see for yourself.
we had record breaking crowds on the lovely promenade
