Every year, quilters from around the world gather in Paducah, Kentucky for the annual AQS Quilt Show, and every year, the quilts on display leave us in awe. The artistry, precision, and creativity in each piece never fail to inspire!

This year marked the second time we sent two busses full of joyful quilters from our shop in Louisville to experience the show together, and what a fun-filled ride it was! The event once again delivered a stunning showcase of talent. From vibrant modern designs to intricate traditional work, the range of styles and techniques was nothing short of breathtaking. There was something to spark inspiration in every corner.
Take a peek below at some of Angela’s favorite quilts from the show. These amazing works of art are a true celebration of the creativity and talent in our quilting community. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
