QUILT MARKET IN HOUSTON IS…
THIS WEEK!
Here’s what you need to know.
NEW THIS YEAR!
We’re introducing a new Best Booth Award in Houston, and giving attendees the opportunity to choose a winner. Vote for your favorite booth via social media—using the hashtag #QuiltMarket on Twitter or Instagram, or by posting directly to our Facebook page. The booth with the most virtual votes will receive our new Viewer’s Choice Award.
We’re also offering a totally revamped Market event app, available for download in the App Store or Google Play (web version available at QMarketApp.com). The new app offers a new look, functionality, and improved navigation. Check it out for access to the Schoolhouse Series schedule as well.
