Finally, as mentioned above, we are having a designer booth this year. This is where our designers will have time slots for when they will be hanging out at the booth and chatting with customers. Below is a copy of the flyer with all the details.

For those coming to market, I wish you safe travels. We truly look forward to seeing you as it has been way too long. Please note that we will have plenty of people there to help all customers who want to look at the new lines and place new orders. Just stop by and we will be sure to fit you in. There will be quilt market specials that you can ask about when you sit with one of our reps to place orders.

Lastly, I wanted to remind everyone that it has been a while so make sure that your quilt market badge is in full view and not covered.

See you in Texas!
