Laughter, prizes, and a whole lot of quilting fun. Where quilters connect and the competition is friendly. 

Join us for a thrilling evening of friendly competition, laughter, and camaraderie at the annual AQS Game Night! This year, we're putting your quilting phrase knowledge to the ultimate test in a high-stakes, gameshow-style battle!

Hosted by the charismatic Michelle Renee Hiatt, the night will feature audience-formed teams competing in three exciting rounds of Quilt Phrase Frenzy:

• Round 1: Quilting Charades - Can you act out a Flying Geese block or a Y-seam without making a sound?
• Round 2: Quilting Pictionary - Put your drawing skills to the test as your teammates try to guess the mystery quilting term!
• Round 3: Quilting Password - It’s a race against the clock! Give your team one-word clues to figure out quilting phrases.

Teams will battle through the rounds, with the two highest-scoring teams advancing to the dramatic playoff! Whether you're competing for glory or just enjoying the night, this is the perfect chance to connect with fellow quilters and make new friends.

Fabulous prizes will be awarded to all team members who participate, and we'll even have giveaways for selected audience members!
