I had never entered an American Quilter’s Society (AQS) show before, so I was tickled pink to find out last week that my appliqué quilt “Pink Petal Party,” the focus of my book, Appliqué Petal Party, was juried into their Paducah show! It will be held April 21-24, 2010 at the Paducah Expo Center, Julian Carroll Convention Center in Paducah, Kentucky.
The AQS Quilt Show & Contest at the Paducah show is considered to be one of the premier international quilting events. According to the AQS website, more than 37,000 people attend each year’s show, and more than $2.5 million in cash prizes have been awarded. Whether my quilt wins a prize or not, it is an honor just to be juried in, so I am really excited. I’m hoping to be able to attend with my mother, who is also a quilter.
