Mad Quilters' Gathering 2012
A milestone in social and economic terms, the inaugural Mad Quilters' Gathering at Penrith Panthers was an astounding success!
The inaugural Mad Quilters' Gathering provided a rare opportunity for the trade and visitors to meet and enjoy the surroundings - bringing attention to the future of this expo which we shall be staging in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
Creating the Mad Quilters' Gathering took many months to strategise. But the inherent value was worth any wait. This brand name promotes an establishment in the marketplace that brings trust and warmth to the trade and visitors alike. Patchwork and quilting enthusiasts grabbed bargains and browsed new products.
Value is an almost indefinable quality to exhibitors - those who possess the right attributes are more likely to accelerate their chances of success. The Mad Quilters' Gathering is excellent value for the trade. At time of writing, 82 percent of exhibitors rebooked to be at the next event, including:
