This year we invite you to join us as we celebrate 35 years of quilting, 35 years of quilters, and 35 years of AQS inspiring, educating, and nurturing quilters who love quilting. Here’s to the next 35!
In this series, we start in 1985 and work our way to 2019 taking a look at the quilting world through our unique perspective. Enjoy the beautiful quilts and marvel at the amazing heritage quilting is because of you, the quilter.[/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer height=”15″ height_on_tabs=”10″ height_on_tabs_portrait=”10″ height_on_mob_landscape=”10″ height_on_mob=”10″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_single_image image=”67341″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”img_link_large”][ultimate_spacer height=”15″ height_on_tabs=”5″ height_on_tabs_portrait=”5″ height_on_mob_landscape=”5″ height_on_mob=”5″][vc_single_image image=”67342″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”img_link_large”][ultimate_spacer height=”15″ height_on_tabs=”5″ height_on_tabs_portrait=”5″ height_on_mob_landscape=”5″ height_on_mob=”5″][vc_single_image image=”67340″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”img_link_large”][ultimate_spacer height=”15″ height_on_tabs=”5″ height_on_tabs_portrait=”5″ height_on_mob_landscape=”5″ height_on_mob=”5″][vc_single_image image=”67343″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”img_link_large”][ultimate_spacer height=”15″ height_on_tabs=”5″ height_on_tabs_portrait=”5″ height_on_mob_landscape=”5″ height_on_mob=”5″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]American Quilter Magazine

What was the amateur and professional categories all
about? There are no such categories now.
Hi Carol, There used to be a distinction made between quilt instructors/award winning quilters and those who weren’t. It was difficult to create common definitions for each since the most people entering the show wanted to be in the amateur category. Thanks, Betsey
What year did the amateur and professional categories disappear?
Hi Carol, I’ll need to look that up to answer, but I have noticed them dropping off the categories the last couple years we’ve done. It’s been a fascinating journey through the years. Thanks, Betsey
