Quilt shows in Kentucky
Quilting in Kentucky
Kentucky has its own quilting community, traditions, and shops. Kentucky has more miles of waterways than any other state except Alaska. For local quilters, the state's active guilds run annual or biennial shows that are smaller than the national circuit but often easier to attend.
Shopping Before (or Instead of) the Show
Vendor booths at Kentucky shows carry the same kinds of fabric you can shop online any time — handy if the show is months away or you can't make the trip.
