American Quilter’s Society Quilt Show

Every March, Lancaster County hosts a Quilt show bringing 20,000 quilters into the area from 48 states and at least 4 countries.  Fabric stores like The Old Country Store in Intercourse PA extend their hours until 12:00 and have huge fabric sales.  More than 200 quilts in Freedom Hall at the Lancaster County Convention Center  were competing for $44,250 in cash awards. 
 Congratulations to  Cindy Seitz-Krug  of Bakersfield, California, for her quilt, SIMPLY SANTA FE, which won the $10,000 prize for the Best of Show category.

Next show will be March 13- 16, 2013
