If you are not familiar with Quilt Market, it’s a vendor market for individuals and companies in the quilting industry. In the fall, Quilt Market precedes the quilt show in Houston. In the spring, Quilt Market rotates among four different cities, coming to Portland every fourth year. This year was our turn. Today I had the opportunity to view the fabrics, tools, notions, and products coming out soon.
Market also has a small display of quilts from the preceding Houston Quilt Festival. Here are my favorites.
