Houston’s International Quilt Market

I know I am a little behind in sharing my International Quilt Market adventure. I took my time thinking about this trip. I have now gone to Houston twice and to Spring once in the last two years.

Therefore, Spring Market in Salt Lake City felt more intimate, with fewer vendors. However, I could chat with other designers, teachers, fabric companies, and pattern makers.  I love the experience of bunking with some friends this time around in a big Airbnb, which was so cool! And it made me super excited for the fall event!

Quilt Market in the fall is HUGE! The venue, the city, everything.

While I can’t explain to you how vital this event has become for me, it’s time I reconnected with my friends around the world in one place. I come back inspired and ready to make upgrades and changes in my business and personal life. It is an empowering feeling to get together with all the most creative people in my industry!

The people and friends you meet at the quilt market are unlike at any other event I have been to. You get to see my favorite fabric designers, chat with them about what really inspired their lines, and hear their amazing accents!

Getting to see the cool new patterns from designers of clothing, accessories, bags, and quilts is so exciting. All the designers (fabric and patterns) are amazing and so talented. It’s impossible not to be inspired or impressed! Visiting Houston for the quilt market will be my favorite event of the year. It’s not cheap, but it’s so worth it to see all my friends in a creative space.

So I am not going to GUSH about Fall Market, but I am going to post up the photos 🙂
