SPRING MARKET STATS

 

Another spring Quilt Market is in the books! Since returning from Minneapolis, we’ve unpacked hundreds of show boxes, sorted through even more business cards, and weathered several days of flooding here in Houston. But none of that kept us from tallying the really important numbers, and the final Market figures are officially in.

When all was said and done, 2,300 attendees registered for Market this spring, with 1,432 of those also enrolling for classes and events. Schoolhouse Series was the show’s most popular event with 1,600 people attending the full day of sessions. And Sample Spree followed closely behind, with 1,200 attendees.

 

The show had a total of 465 exhibitors in 956 booths, including 37 exhibitors who were entirely new to the show. You can view a list of the exhibitors who were at this year’s spring Market HERE.

 

Visit the links below to see which of those exhibitors took home a highly coveted Best Booth Award…and to get a look at some of the fabulous new products introduced in Minneapolis!
