Fox Chapel/Landauer Quilt Market 2019 Schedule of Events

September 2019

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lancaster, PA — Fox Chapel Publishing will be exhibiting at this year’s Quilt Market in Houston, Texas at the George R. Brown Convention Center joined by a collective of authors who will be signing books, providing lectures, and displaying beautiful quilts.

Fox Chapel Publishing, known for its high-quality craft books, recently increased its number of quilting titles with its acquisition of Landauer Publishing. Now, with a stellar line-up of quilting authors who are artists, shop owners, fabric designers, and entrepreneurs in their own right, these fan-favorites will help to make Fox Chapel a stand-out exhibitor at this year’s Market.

Many authors will be presenting new titles such as Wendy Sheppard‘s Quilting with Kids. “My book is based on my experience working with my daughter on the love of needle and thread since she was five,” Sheppard says. Other highlights include Linda Hahn’s New York Beauty Quilts Electrified, which she and co-author Deborah G. Stanley will also be lecturing about during the Schoolhouse Sessions planned for Friday, October 25. “We’re excited to show just how versatile this block is!” Hahn says.

Guests are also urged to be on the lookout for nationally-known quilting authority Penny Haren and her book 101 Quilting Tips & Tricks Pocket Guide, award-winning author Joyce Hughes and her book Creating Art Quilts with Panels, talented fabric and pattern designer Sarah J. Maxwell and her book Morse Code Quilts, fabric artist Judy Gula who brings a wealth of textile travel experience to her book Colorful Batik Panel Quilts, quilting sensation Kristine Poor and her book Guide to Interfacings: Carry-along Reference Guide, and Helen Robinson, founder of the modern, boutique quilting company Sew Kind of Wonderful, and her book Mini Wonderful Curves. Guests are urged to arrive early to books signing events, as limited copies will be made available on a first-come basis.

“We’re looking forward to this year’s Quilt Market and are excited to reveal many highly-anticipated releases as well as present a strong backlist portfolio,” says David Miller, vice president of sales and marketing.
