The Web site is for the American Quilter's Society.

In 1983 Meredith and Bill Schroeder, already avid collectors and publishers of books for collectors, headed south to Bell Buckle, Tennessee, barely a dot on the map, for a national quilt show. Though over 400 quilts were hung for the show, they didn't expect the thousands of people who poured into the exhibit. It was a groundswell of enthusiasm unlike anything Bill and Meredith had seen in all their years of collecting. The moment was not lost on the Schroeders.

The American Quilter's Society is dedicated to TODAY's quilter. Inspired by the enduring creativity and importance of quilts and quiltmaking, our objective is to provide a forum for quilters of all skill levels to expand their horizons in quilt making, design, self-expression, and quilt collecting. Through our books, magazines, product offers, quilt shows and contests, workshops and other activities in the world of quilting we strive to inspire, instruct and nurture the art and skill of quiltmaking. We endeavor to carry this theme through all our relationships, be they with customers, authors, vendors or colleagues.
