The AQS Quilt Show started today in Grand Rapids. Clutch and I came home from the cottage last night eager to see all the beautiful quilts. More than $44,000 in cash awards will be given to the prizewinning quilts. The show is August 22-25 so if you're in the area be sure to make time to attend. There are lots of special exhibits, classes, lectures and vendors.

Here's a look at the winning quilts.

It was so nice seeing old friends, Dear Jane friends, Shipshewana and Traverse City friends too. I can't wait for tomorrow!
