Bill Schroeder, the man who co-founded the American Quilter's Society (AQS) along with his wife, Meredith, has passed away. They founded AQS in 1984 and produced how-to books and the National Quilt Show and Contest in Paducah. In 1991 they built the Museum of the American Quilter's Society, which was designated as The National Quilt Museum in 2004.

To honor Bill and Meredith, we are opening up Show 1113 to everyone. This show features the co-founders of AQS and begins with a tour of the National Quilt Museum. We visit the offices of the American Quilter's Society, where a busy staff produces quilt magazines, assorted quilt-related books, and many annual quilt shows. Finally, we drop in at the Schroeder home, where—among other things—Meredith reveals the only quilt she's ever made…as part of an ugly quilt challenge.
