Local Charity

Sit & Sew Fidget Quilts


At each AQS QuiltWeek event, the American Quilter’s Society partners with a local charity. This year AQS, the Racing Fingers Quilt Guild, and quilters attending the show will be making Fidget Quilts for Alzheimer’s patients.


Look for Sit & Sew Fidget Quilts on the showroom floor and stop to sew a small 20" to 24" quilt that will be donated to a local patient with Alzheimer’s. Quilts are made from a variety of fabrics to create texture, and embellishments like ribbons, cords, buttons, pompoms, empty spools, and other items are added to make a perfect fidget quilt. We can make a difference!

Racing Fingers Quilt Guild

The mission of Quilts of Valor is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.
