Here’s more fun to share from our booth at International Quilt Market spring. We had a great time showing off what’s new and sharing our inspiration!
This was a busy show! We started with three educational Schoolhouses and partnered with lots of friends to make this all happen. We launched new fabrics and kits and our new Cuddle® Sweet Strips packs (coming soon). We showed off our beautiful Embrace™ Double Gauze Metallics prints and we enjoyed wearing garments made out of our Embrace™ double gauze. We even had a fun contest with Lulu the Llama to win the new Sensational Strips Cuddle Kit English Garden (To find out more about the Lulu the Llama Contest, click here.)
We had a super team at market (and even more help from back home). Go team! Left to right, back row: Jayme, Annette, Julie, Sheryl, Renee, Arvin, Ellen, Melissa, Teresa. Middle row: Debra, Bryant. Front row: Peter.
