OK so I am a little late in posting about this exciting event in the life of a patchwork store owner, but I just had to play catch up for a week. Pittsburgh is the city of bridges and full of history - a great place to explore.
Market was very exciting! The organisers are brilliant. Eveything went like clockwork. I thoroughly enjoyed the pre market shop tours and the post market tour into the Amish community in Ohio. I met up with shop owners from all over the world, Canada, Austria, lots from the US, our New Zealand neighbours were there, everybody involved in the industry is really friendly and welcoming.
As you make your way through a day of information packed Schoolhouse sessions you get glimpses of the wholesalers setting up on the floor below. This picture is one side of the trade show. We only made our way through two thirds of the stands on our first day and I didn't look at any of the new fabrics!
