AQS Paducah’26: Seen at Show
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 only “spied” SEVEN of our bags “walking the floor” of the AQS Paducah Quilt Festival ’26! I'm not sure why there's this few, except that it seemed like there were SO MANY brand NEW customers this year!
Whatever the reason,
here they are, & they're ALL AMAZING!
First off- here's Pat Trapp with her Sling Along,
with an excellently placed medallion print!
And look how totally coordinated Judy Avant's Sling Along looks with her show outfit! She's runway PERFECT!
And year after year, this duo sews together and always brings something brilliant to the show!
At left, is Fumiyo Stuvengen & her peacock-themed Sling Along, & at right, Pat Burtness' Sling Along is giving off "Northern Lights" vibes!
And look at these beautiful gals, all family members, and how dumb is it, that I let them get away without getting all of their names???
I do know that Mom is on the left, the daughter is in the middle, and she created this Sling Along with the help of Mom & the aunt (at right, who I know from past show's is named Sharon Campbell), who helped her sister & neice create this amazing bag!
And here's Marie Dieckmann and her Springtime Katalina! Is this bag beautiful or what?
And finally... just when the show was about to end, Barb Flowers came in to show me her fantastic batik'ed Cignet Phone Pal!
Barb has been a follower of our Blog for many years & it was fun to finally meet & talk to her after all this time!
And now.... it's YOUR turn!
