Local Charity

Sit & Sew Fidget Quilts


At each AQS QuiltWeek event, the American Quilter’s Society partners with a local charity. This year AQS, the Racing Fingers Quilt Guild, and quilters attending the show will be making Fidget Quilts for Alzheimer’s patients.


Look for Sit & Sew Fidget Quilts on the showroom floor and stop to sew a small 20" to 24" quilt that will be donated to a local patient with Alzheimer’s. Quilts are made from a variety of fabrics to create texture, and embellishments like ribbons, cords, buttons, pompoms, empty spools, and other items are added to make a perfect fidget quilt. We can make a difference!

Racing Fingers Quilt Guild

Quilts of Valor

The mission of Quilts of Valor is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor. A Quilt of Valor will be presented at noon on Wednesday in the AQS Learning Center. If you have never heard this poignant presentation before, plan to attend this one. For more information about the Quilts of Valor Foundation, stop by Booth #1426.
