"Members working collectively to help solve the challenges of the industry" is the purpose of every non-profit trade association. QTA is no exception. As a non-profit association (and "non-profit" is the key word), every program and service that QTA offers is focused on this goal.

Quilt Trade Association (QTA) is a non-profit organization that serves its members:

Retail members are Independent quilt shops

Allied members are suppliers of products and services to quilt shops

Individual members are designers, authors & instructors

Quilt Trade Association advances the community of quilt trade businesses by providing its members with a forum for diverse meeting and networking opportunities, information and education to support their businesses, as well as advocating for their common interests.

QTA, newly formed in 2010, has experienced tremendous growth in quilt shop membership and support from affiliated companies in our few short months of existence. Evidence of quilt shop owners helping each other with sharing of ideas, trials, tribulations and success stories serves to to sustain and grow the industry.
