From AQS: "Ready for a blast from the past? Here's Ricky Tims in 1997 at the AQS Quilt Show & Contest in Paducah, Kentucky, sharing his quilt Peace Like A River. He talks about his love of quilting and music."
After an illustrious career spanning thirty years, Bonnie Browning, the Executive Show Director of the American Quilter's Society (AQS), has officially announced her retirement in April 2024, leaving behind a remarkable legacy in the quilting world.
Ricky Tims, who was a judge at AQS Quiltweek 2022 in Paducah, went out onto the floor to seek the opinion of quilters and find out how they feel about the use of "banned substances" in quilt competitions. The Quilt Show would like to thank all of the gracious participants for their time in taking part in this survey.
