Markets — Where You Can Find SQ² Creations in Person
Markets are where my work meets the world in person — quiet spaces filled with conversation, curiosity, and the warmth of handmade. Each quilt I bring is part of a story still unfolding, a reminder that beauty and usefulness can share the same thread.
I choose markets with care: those that honor slow craftsmanship and welcome genuine connection. Every setup — from cedar trunks to the quilts draped across my racks — is designed to invite people in, to remind them that quality takes time.
The list below includes both upcoming and past markets. Whether you’ve followed SQ² Creations for a while or have just discovered my work, I hope these events offer a glimpse into the timeless art of quilt making and the heart behind each piece.
