Quilt market is where everyone who is selling something related to quilting goes to show off their new products to store owners/vendors. The vendors can see what is coming out and place orders. For example, Riley Blake Fabrics, Moda, Michael Miller etc. all have booths showcasing their latest lines of fabric coming out. It is aisles and aisles of booths of great displays and lots of fun. Their are school house sessions where store owners can listen to particular companies talk about their new products. It is a closed trade show, which means it is not open to the public. I see on the website that they have had to add an 'overflow hotel', as so many people have booked rooms to fill up the 3 host hotels. It sounds like it is gearing up for a grand time.
It takes place May 18-20, 2012. Ok, now go and see what Amanda is up to in her market preparations.

Yay Jackie! Amanda sounds really excited about your project too. You may have just designed Market's jewellery trend for the show {grin} Too bad you're not going to demo in person. . . maybe next time! Congrats on another 3D delight.
Way to go, Jackie! Market and Quilt Festival are unbelievably exciting. You get so tired even your hair hurts. Congrats on having your project in Amanda's book.
Don't forget to add a team photo from your booth for us all to see!!
Congratulations, girl!! You so rock! I love that project....wish I could go and take the class....ah, retirement cannot come fast enough. Oh, wait, then I won't have money to travel much. Bummer.
