American Quilter's Society Returns to Lancaster in March!

The American Quilter's Society will hold its 2nd Annual AQS Quilt Show & Contest at the Lancaster Convention Center, March 16 thru 19.  Last year's show was a huge success, with thousands of quilters from across the country, and this year promises to be even better!

During the conference, "Authentic Bed & Breakfasts of Lancaster County" will once again host a free Reception Party for all of the Quilt Show attendees!  It will be held on Thursday, March 17th, from 4:00-7:00 PM at the renowned Lancaster Quilt & Textile Museum, about a block from the Convention Center.  There'll be lots of food, music, demonstrations, and other activities, through the generosity of many of our local "partner" businesses.

We're also thrilled to announce that novelist Kelly Long will be doing a book signing at the party!  Ms. Long is the author of the bestselling "Patch of Heaven" series... set in an Amish community, with each novel inspired by an Amish quilt pattern! The author actually grew up in the area of an Amish community, and now lives less than an hour from Lancaster.  We can't think of a more perfect addition to the evening!
So if you're a quilter, would like to become a quilter, or are just fascinated by this traditional, beautiful, and practical art form, we hope that you'll attend the Lancaster AQS Show, and our Authentic B&B Quilters Reception!

And when you're making your plans, of course be sure to check out the many delightful inns that make up "Authentic Bed & Breakfasts of Lancaster County".  Click here for all the details.  With 40 inns to choose from, we're certain you'll find one that will make your quilting trip a most memorable experience!
