For years the National AQS Expo Show has been held in Nashville, TN. Last year area businesses, community leaders and quilt leaders gathered together and wooed AQS for the right to host the annual 1st Annual Knoxville AQS Quilt Expo right here in Knoxville, Tennessee !! From July 22nd to July 25th, over 20,000 quilters and quilt lovers of all ages, from all over the country as well as oversees converged on Knoxville to attend this event. Over 200 vendors from all over the country displayed the lastest fabrics, tools and all forms of must-haves for quilters. It was definitely worth attending and you won’t want to miss it next year, so mark your calendars, gather your friends and start making reservations/plans now to attend this one-of-a-kind quilting event !!   AQS was so happy with the hospitality of Knoxville that it has already signed up for a 4th year in Knoxville for 2012 !!
