Congratulations to Linda French, the Best of Show winner. This is the first contest that Linda has every entered. Just like playing the lottery, you can't win if you don't enter. I bet we see more quilts from this talented quilter in future AQS shows now that she knows that her work is that good!
Barry Buchanan and Mary Beth Head man the AQS Booth. Did you get your show T-shirt?
A view of part of the exhibit hall from the AQS staff office. There were 350 booths full of goodies - all quilt-related.
Quilters visit with AQS authors at the AQS Book Fair. It's a great place to get to meet authors and have your books autographed.
The New Quilts from an Old Favorite: Burgoyne Surrounded exhibit is being studied by quilters. Right behind those quilts is the Artfull Bras exhibit of 50 bras created by the South Carolina Quilters to draw attention to breast cancer. They certainly did draw a lot of attention at the show - you couldn't walk by this exhibit without hearing giggles from those viewing them.
One of the most popular contests is the Ultimate Guild Challenge, where guilds have their own challenge and submit eight entries in the AQS contest in Knoxville. It's always fun to see how the eight quilters portray the challenge (theme, block, fabric, or whatever the guild chose).
Quilter are enjoying viewing the American Quilt Study Groups' Red and Green study quilt exhibit. The dates for next year's show in Knoxville are July 14 - 17, 2010. Mark your calendar and plan to join us in Knoxville

Will the Artful Bras exhibit be at the Des Moines show? I'd love to see it!
