Spring 2018 Quilt Market Recap!
We’re back from Quilt Market! We had so much fun seeing so many familiar faces, meeting new customers, and viewing all of the beautiful quilts. Thank you, Portland, for a wonderful week of inspiration!
We featured new Tonga Batiks, quilting collections, and some fun novelty groups in our booth, and we are excited to share a few highlights from the show.
