American Quilter's Society

Spanning all walks of life and interests, quilters across the world form a close-knit community where individuality and expression are celebrated. Quilters celebrate creativity and passion for wonderful fabric art. As a member of the American Quilter's Society, you will instantly become part of a community of kindred spirits; creative people looking to learn, develop, and master the art and craft of quiltmaking.

From beginner to advanced, members in the America Quitler's Society celebrate artistic passion. AQS membership is more than a priceless resource to boost your creativity. It's the gateway to therapy and relaxation through quilting, a way to find your individuality. Just like no two quilts are alike, no two members are the same either. That helps make up the rich fabric that is the AQS community.

The American Quilter's Society is the largest quilting membership organization in the world, with good reason. We understand quilting! We provide quilters like you with the information, inspiration, and experiences that make a difference.

AQS provides a forum for quilters of all skill levels to expand their horizons in quiltmaking, quilt design, self-expression, and quilt collection. We do this by giving access to books, magazines, live events, contests, quilting workshops, online communities, email newsletters, contests, catalogs, and more.

Become a card-carrying quilter and take advantage of AQS membership benefits. Members enjoy six issues of American Quilter magazine each year plus access to online archives and expertise. Seasonal catalogs are full of exciting ideas for quilters. Plus, members get discounts at AQS QuiltWeek™, books, bonus patterns, car rentals, and much more. Each AQS member also gets a 10% VIP discount at JO-ANN Fabric and Craft Stores®.

From the small town of Paducah, Kentucky, the spark that lit the quilting world on fire was conceived. Offering the largest cash prizes for quilting in the U.S., the American Quilter's Society raises the profile of quilting every day. Co-founder and Chairman Emeritus, Meredith Schroeder, has been recognized by the industry for her contributions as "Visionary, innovator & grand ambassador of quilting to the world." We congratulate Meredith as the 2013 Inductee to the Quilter's Hall of Fame.
