Quilt Market Vlog 2022!

Quilt Market came back for the first time since the pandemic started and it lined up perfectly with my daughter’s fall break, so I bought tickets for her first plane ride ever to bring her along with me. Then I found out Quilts Inc, which hosts Market, has a minimum age of 14. Whoops! Thankfully […]
