International Spring Quilt Market at St. Louis
St. Louis here I come! I am so excited about attending my first International Quilt Market! Quilt Market is held twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. It is a trade show for the quilting industry. I was very pleased to be credentialed as a professional quilter this year so that I could attend. While I am there, I will see the newest fabrics and quilting supplies, and meet the people behind the products. Many of my favorite suppliers will be there: Accuquilt, Andover Fabric, Aurifil. Baby lock, Benartex, Cotton+Steel, Hoffman Fabrics, In the Beginning Fabrics, Island Batik, Janome, Jen Kingwell designs, Maywood Studio, Michael Miller Fabrics, Missouri Star Quilt Co., Moda fabrics, Northcott,  Paper Pieces, Timeless Treasures, Tula Pink, Windom Fabrics, Zebra Patterns, plus many more... You get the idea.

​I hope to see old friends and make new ones as well. Some of my friends from the 2017 New Quilt Blogger group will be there. I hope to see them!

In addition, I am enrolled in the following classes (You may see a trend here.):
  • ​Social Media Marketing 2.0
  • Social Media Made easy
  • Blogging Is Not Dead (Personal note: I am counting on that.)
  • Independent Publishing
I am hoping that the classes will help me be a better blogger and teach me how to publish my own patterns!

​I will be blogging about my experiences and hope to bring you the latest news from the quilting world.

​Until then, Happy Quilting!​​

It looks like you'll have a wonderful trip! I hope we get lots of pictures. I'd love to go to market. How does one go about gaining professional accreditation as a quilter?

Hi Cate, The credential is specific to the Quilt Market Trade Shows. Quilt Market is not open to the general pubic. You must have credentials in one of four categories. I was able to qualify for the Industry Professional Badge. It was not as hard as I thought it might be. In order to steer you in the right direction, I recommend that you go to the credential page at http://quilts.com/market-credentials.html The next Quilt Market will be in the fall in Houston right before the International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX. I plan on attending that one as well. I hope to see you there!
