“What happens at Quilt Market?”
Several AQS employees traveled to Minneapolis, Minnesota, in mid-May to attend the International Quilt Market on behalf of AQS Publishing.
AQS was a part of the hundreds of booths, representing small to very, very large companies, in the huge Minneapolis Convention Center.
The majority of attendees were quilt shop and business owners representing all sizes of shops. It’s a great way to meet people and do business with so many representatives of the quilting trade in the same place. Demonstrations were happening all over the place throughout the weekend, including Rock That Block! with Linda Hahn and Contain It! with Linda Chaney and Laura Gerth at our booth.
Take a peek at some of the sights! The “aura of quilting” was all around:
With threads–in every color and every weight!
Notions, from the newest to everyone’s favorites, and more.
Scissorman, a/k/a Brint from Famore Cutlery, Inc., wouldn’t miss it, of course…
There were big machines…
…and some just the right size for any sewing room!
Of course, THE FABRICS were everywhere. Buyers and sellers were busy!
Sham and Momo Lohani made the trip from Australia…
Spring Market was full of color. And texture. And ideas. All coming soon!
Happiness is, of course, a warm quilt. Thank your local quilt shops and online quilting retailers for carrying the love of quilting home to you!
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve always wondered what Market was like. Looks like it’s decisions, decisions. I enjoyed this.
Thanks, Glenna!
