Quilt Market Fall 2014 Recap!

We’re back from a very busy Fall Quilt Market in Houston! Thank you to all the shop owners, reps, and designers who attended and made this show such a success.

One of the most exciting parts of Quilt Market was the official debut of Judy and Judel Niemeyer‘s first fabric collection, The Reclaimed West. A huge team of Quiltworx staff plus Certified Shops & Instructors pitched in to make the breathtaking quilts hanging in our booth, and the Niemeyers did an amazing job of setting up a gorgeous themed display to go along with the collection. Their presentation at our Premier Schoolhouse catered to a packed ballroom of about 1500 business owners!

Also showcased in our booth were three new Block of the Month/Class Programs, new fabrics from designers like Daniela Stout and Chong-a Hwang, lots of free patterns & published patterns for our quilting collections and Tonga Batiks, and an eye-catching display of all our new Tonga Treats. A picture says 1000 words, so scroll down for all the details!

Find information for quilts pictured below on the Projects page of our website. View more photos from Market in our Facebook album here!
