What is the American Quilter's Society?

The American Quilter's Society is dedicated to promoting today's quilter.

The American Quilter's Society is a dynamic membership organization with goals firmly set in future growth of the American quilting community. With members from all states of territories of the United States, and 80 foreign countries, AQS has established itself as a voice within the quilting community.

Headquartered in Paducah, Kentucky, AQS strives to provide the highest quality products and services to our members and the quilting community, as a whole.

Our AQS Quilt Show & Contest celebrates its 20^th anniversary in 2004. Every April, over 37,000 attendees converge on Paducah, Kentucky for this well-loved event--making us Quilt City USA®.
