Paducah quilt show 2024 schedule

What a wonderful week! Lori, Janis and I drove through the State of Illinois in bright sunshine last Sunday, and we knew we had arrived when we drove across the “flying geese” bridge.

God gave us a wonderful time at the AQS Quilt Week in Paducah!

As usual we were able to stay at the 1857 Inn, which is on a cobblestone street in the old “Lower Town” of the city. We got settled in, then bright and early Monday morning we dropped Janis off at the convention center for a class, and Lori and I headed to Hancocks of Paducah.

I needed to find 10 yards of a metallic cotton fabric for the ThreadBenders next challenge.

It was nice to shop there without the crowds!

And they had exactly what I needed.

At noon we headed back to the convention center to help hang the show quilts. Our job this year was to place all of the amazing miniature quilts in the display cases. As we worked the Executive Show Directors ~ Michelle and Bonnie ~ came upstairs with a camera crew to do a Facebook Live segment of the “pre-show”.

We ended up photo-bombing
