- The American Quilters Society (AQS) has several quilting shows and contests scheduled for 2009 such as the AQS Quilt Show and Contest, April 22 - 25, in Paducah, KY. This one typically has several categories. Check out their website for other shows, locations and dates.
I want to apologize to everyone for listing the Creative Home Arts Club on this webpage last year. When I checked to see what they were doing for 2009, I discovered many complaints about their business practices and I recommend you avoid it entirely. I'm so sorry that I did not research it fully before putting it on my page. I promise to do better as I want to keep your trust in what I put on my site.
