International Quilt Market Houston: Schoolhouse Lectures

Over the next several days I will be posting from the International Quilt Market and Festival at Houston. First up in Quilt Market which is a trade only event to show the latest fabrics, books, notion and more.

Today was Quilt Market Schoolhouse Series which occurs the day before Quilt Market opens. The purpose of Quilt Market Schoolhouse is to help us store owners to have a more successful store. There are 291 different classes on offer with a wide range of topics. The emphasis is to introduce new products, techniques or to expand our existing programs in place in our store. It gives us a greater  insight as to what is new on the market.
