The fun begins at Quilt Market...with the School House. A few thousand quilt shop owners went back to "school" today as the International Quilt Market kicked off in Portland at the Oregon Convention Center. The show started Thursday and goes until Sunday.
Quilt Market is a trade show for quilt shop owners from around the world - they come to preview and place orders for new and exciting fabrics, notions, patterns and more! Quilt Market School House is one small part of the events at the 2008 International Quilt Market ---
The Quilt Market School House was busy teaching the three W's!
Who's making the goods
What are they making, and
When can we get our hands on it!
At School House, the makers and shakers in the quilt industry get a chance to do a bit of show and tell (and some entertaining, as well) in a 15- to 30-minute "school house" presentation. It is an opportunity to see, hear, touch and feel. Most class sizes range from 30 - 100 people and each time slot has 16 concurrent sessions. There were actually over 200 school house presentations today! There is definitely something for everyone.
