For those coming to market, I wish you safe travels and look forward to seeing you. 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.

See you in Texas!
