Seen at Show: AQS Paducah Quilt Fest ’25

So… even though I’ve been in business for 20+ years, I still get a BIG kick out of seeing our customers carrying bags they’ve made from our patterns! And what better place to “spy” these customers than at a retail trade show, right?

And you know what? we “spied” THIRTEEN of our bags “walking the floor” of the AQS Paducah Quilt Festival ’25! This year the variety of bags we saw “walking” at this show was extraordinary, but one thing is for sure… they were ALL totally AMAZING!

So what say you? Do you have a favorite amongst this “bevi of beauties”? It’s hard to choose, isn’t it?

So here’s the deal….

Last year we decided to offer a TEN PERCENT – across the board – discount to every single person who came to our booth wearing an SKD bag, and that’s EXACTLY what we have done! And it’s been SUCH fun seeing all of these wonderful bags at the AQS Paducah Quilt Show that we’ll be repeating this offer at BOTH the International Quilt Market AND, the International Quilt Festival in Houston this Fall!

So what are you waiting for? Get those patterns out and finish up a bag to wear and get YOU a nifty discount on your entire purchase while we’re at festivals in 2025!

And now, it’s YOUR turn!

Do you have a bag you’ve made from one of our patterns? And if so, how about taking a cue from these ladies and wear it to one of our Quilt Festivals this year to pick up a cool 10% off or your entire show purchase?
