Springtime in Paducah means one thing. AQS Quilt Week! Quilts! Classes! Shopping! Food! Quilty friends! Paducah is know as the mecca for quilters. And they come in droves. This year Paducah was a zoo!
I’m talking about the quilts on display. As I walked through, enjoying all the quilts, I noticed there were several animals looking back at me. Let me take you to the zoo.
A Zoo full of quilts
