If you like going to quilt shows to see the quilts (as opposed to going just for the vendors) you will like being a member of AQS. They publish great photos of all the quiltweek winners and I love looking at the innovative and creative designs some quilters come up with. I also enjoy shopping AQS and getting the discount on notions and sometimes they do have fabrics that I like. Also you do get a discount price for admission to quiltweek shows. I haven't tried any of the IQuilt classes but the caliber of instructors they have can't be beat. I keep my membership up on this particular group.
