News and Trends from International Quilt Market
JUNE
FINAL SALT LAKE CITY FIGURES
Another spring Quilt Market has come and gone! And if you were among the thousands who were able to join us in Salt Lake—and enjoy a breath of fresh, albeit, high-altitude air—we think you’ll agree that there was a particularly good energy on the show floor at this year’s show.
In total, there were 411 exhibitors in 899.5 booths, including 22 that were entirely new to the show. Find out who among them won Best Booth Awards for their designs BELOW.
The final number of people who registered for the show was 2,302, which was just slightly (and by “slightly,” we mean a margin of two people) above last year’s spring attendance.
Of those, 865 people attended the popular Schoolhouse Series and 1,062 attended Sample Spree.
This year’s fall Market in Houston will take place October 29-31, and the 2017 spring Market will take place May 19-21 in St. Louis, Missouri.
