Yoshimi Suzuki created the award-winning quilt "Happy Rose," 82" x 82", using hand appliqué, trapunto, and hand quilting. The quilt was awarded 2nd place in the Hand Quilting category at Paducah 2017. The color mix in the flowers, the lattice work that makes it all look like a dream, and the hand quilting is beautifully done. BUT it only took second. 1st Place will be shown on Sunday.

Take a look behind the scenes as TQS welcomes award-winning quilt artist, Teri Cherne. As an artist, Teri didn’t let a little thing like two bouts of cancer keep her from creating. Known for her incredibly detailed and precise work, she shares how she drafts an entire quilt before needle ever hits thread. But that’s not all, she loves adding interesting details in her binding that she calls 'the frame for your picture.' You won't believe the results.

Toyoko Nakajima, of Kiryu, Gunma, Japan created this quilt (78" x 79") with -Hand Quilting, Hand Appliqué, Applipiecing, Hand Embroidery & Trapunto. (And a good eye for color.) It received 3rd place in the Hand Quilted Category. We love everything about this quilt, the color gradations, the setting, the intertwining of the stems and the beautiful hand quilting. Don't you?

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.
