The politics of quilting societies...can someone explain?
Can someone give the overview of the main groups of quilting in the US?
I went to the website that included the Paducah show and see that it is sponsored by the AQS, American Quilter's Society but obviously not limited to the U.S. since the best of show went to someone from the Netherlands.
Then, on their list of shows, I didn't see Houston, which I thought was the premier show of the world.
So, is there another group that actually sponsors the Houston Show? Is there another "society" that represents the whole world? I couldn't find any one group on the Houston Show's website--it was just quilts.com which seemed so "nothing".
Could one of you "in the know" enlighten me? I was really expecting to see something about Houston the AQS site, but nothing. Obviously there is no link, but can I assume that AQS would be there somehow?
And are there any statistics as to attendance at Paducah this year?
