International Quilt Market Houston — discontinued
Quilts, Inc. announced on 3 December 2025 that International Quilt Market has been discontinued entirely: both the fall edition (since 1979) and the spring edition (since 1981) will no longer operate. The fall 2026 Market that would have preceded International Quilt Festival Houston was cancelled.
The last Houston Quilt Market listed on quilts.com was 4–6 October 2025 (Schoolhouse & Sample Spree 3 October) at the George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston, Texas.
Quilts, Inc. is shifting focus to consumer shows, including International Quilt Festival Houston (12–15 November 2026 at the same convention center; classes from 10 November) and Quilt! Knit! Stitch! in St. Louis.
