# [Quilt Market Recap](https://blog.shannonfabrics.com/blog/2014/06/09/quilt-market-quick-recap)

We had a great time at [International Quilt Market](http://www.quilts.com/home/index.php), May 16-18, 2014 in Pittsburgh, PA. This is our booth! Welcome to *Cuddle World- The Softest Place on Earth™ *

We reconnected with old friends, met new friends, and showed off our beautiful new products! We were busy—we participated in Sneak Peek, Schoolhouse, Sample Spree and also gave hourly demos. Here’s a quick recap.

The day before the show opened, we had Schoolhouse. We showed new products ([Cuddle™ Precuts](http://www.shannonfabrics.com/new-arrivals-cuddle%C3%82%E2%84%A2-precuts-c-933_1052.html), [Cuddle Kits](http://www.shannonfabrics.com/coming-soon-new-cuddle-kits-c-934_1051.html), and more), discussed a few favorite notions, and offered tips on how shops can partner with us for success. Here we are at Schoolhouse:
