Photography Policy for Photos Taken at AQS Quilt Show

This is a reminder that any photos of quilts taken at the AQS Quilt Show may be used for your own personal use only - that is viewed for your own pleasure. The photos of quilts may not be used for any commercial purpose or placed on the Internet without permission from the quiltmaker and the American Quilter's Society. The images of these quilts belong to the quiltmaker and are therefore protected by the copyright laws. So any use of the quilt images in a public way needs to be granted by the quiltmaker.

The same also applies to any recording of programs presented at the show by Eleanor Burns and Ricky Tims.
