International Quilt Market Part 1

There is so much to write about quilt market that I have split it into several posts.

The International Spring Quilt Market takes place in May of each year. It is a trade only event and the location of the show moves each year. This year it took place in Kansas City, Missouri. On show is the latest fabrics, notions, books and everything quilting.  I love attending Quilt Market as it gives me the opportunity to meet up with our regular suppliers, to see what is new, meet up with fabric designers and author and much more.

The fabric companies always put on a fantastic displays so their new collections.
