Thank you to everyone who came out to our show and supported St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Because of your generosity we were able to donate $2100 to them today. This far surpassed our donation last year and even went above our goal for this year!

Thank you everyone for coming out to our second year at Floral Hall during Paducah Quilt Week! We had quite a few new customers this year and raised well over our goal for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. We have to count the extra donation $ and will be posting the grand total donation this week. Thank you to our wonderful vendors, who always go above and beyond to help make Quilt Week a success, the staff at Carson Park who helped us keep things running smoothly, the McCracken County Sherriff's Department for helping with security and of course the wonderful quilters who joined us and helped to make it such a wonderful year! We will see you again in 2025! Mark your calendars for April 22-25, 2025!

It was so wonderful to have one of the award winners stop by today! Stop by tomorrow to see Katherine Dossman of Belton, TX gorgeous work!

The GPS address for our show is 301 Joe Clifton Drive, Paducah, KY 42001. This will bring you to the entrance of Carson Park (look for the Quilt Show Entrance flag at the gate). You can pull into the park and there is ample free parking on the stone or grass. The shuttle buses are also running out here, but there have been problems and the buses are giving conflicting info about whether they stop at our venue or not, and what times they are coming back. If you ride the shuttle, remember we're on the "Attractions Route" bus ONLY! We will be open Friday and Saturday 9am-4pm, we hope to see you there! If you're headed out of town on your way home swing on by for a last little hurrah at charming Floral Hall!

Thank you to the Paducah Sun for a wonderful write up!

We’re open 9am-4pm through Saturday! Park for free in our large parking area or ride the free shuttle (Attractions Route) from the convention center.

All set up and ready for the next 5 days at the Paducah Quilt Show held at Floral Hall. I will also be over at the Museum after our show closes at 5pm with both spiral and binder Swatchbooks.

While you’re here be sure to sign up for our FREE raffle! Over $500 worth of quilting goods generously donated by all of our vendors! It’s free to enter, and you don’t have to be present to win! We will even ship it if you win and live out of town.

We’re open for the week! Remember, $1 of every ticket goes to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Shop and support a good cause!
We also have show pins and tote bags available for sale. You can pick those up at the front table. Pins are $5 and tote bags are $10

FREE ADMISSION on Thursday 4/25 after 2:30pm. The local Paducah tv station will be broadcasting live from our quilt show for their afternoon news and entertainment program!

Our second exhibit will be 40 pieces from the Hoffman 100th Anniversary Challenge.
2022-2023 HOFFMAN CHALLENGE
Celebrated Hoffman Fabrics' 100 Year Anniversary with a special edition of the Hoffman Challenge Batiks.

WHY BATIKS?
Hoffman Fabrics was the first to bring the art of batik making to the retail fabric world. Founding and owning its factory in Bali, Hoffman creates over 800 batik designs yearly, hand-dying over 1 million yards per year. This is the first Hoffman Challenge to ever use Hoffman Bali Batiks as the fabrics. We are celebrating being the first and finest in batiks!

WHY BLUE?
Hoffman has a long, family history revolving around water. It is the center of all that we do. Our lineage in the surfing world propelled our business forward as we pivoted to create the first aloha prints for the fashion industry. Our love for the ocean and surfing led our 2nd generation, Walter and Phillip, to Bali on a surf trip only to find a new art form in hand dying and batik making which led us to our largest category today: Hoffman Bali Batiks.
Lastly, in celebrating our 100 years, we are looking forward to 100 more. Which is why over 20 years ago, we established a water reclamation facility at our Batik factory in Bali. We are proud to be returning clean and pH balanced dye water back to the environment. The color blue represents the Hoffman Family and the various waves our business has ridden. We can’t wait to see what you create with these breathtaking hues.

WHY THESE DESIGNS?
These are the very BEST of our batiks.
They are our bestsellers, the staples in your stash and a true celebration of our 100 years in textile making.

Hoffman Challenge participants were required to use 5 out of 15 fabrics in their artwork entry.

We thank you for riding the waves with us and now let's see the SPLASH you made with your design!

THANK YOU TO THE PARTICIPANTS FOR YOUR EXTRAORDINARY WORKS OF ART!

Join us in welcoming a new vendor for 2024- Apron Strings Quilt Shop from Maysville, KY! Apron Strings is a place to get supplies for quilters, bakers, and candy-makers.
We were originally located on the Flemingsburg Bypass in a 1200 square foot space in a strip mall. After 3 years in our original location, we outgrew our space and had to relocate to a larger space in Flemingsburg. By 2013, we had outgrown our 2nd location, and decided to move Apron Strings to Maysville, Kentucky. We opened our Maysville location in July 2013, and we couldn't be happier with our historic downtown location. Our shop is our "Happy Place", and we hope it becomes yours too!
We are located on 113 West 2nd Street directly across from the Opera House to provide a one level location for your shopping convenience.
If you are in the neighborhood, please come say hello. We would love to meet you and hear your quilt story!

A new vendor for 2024, coming all the way from Las Cruces, NM, we would like to welcome Sew Renewable.
What is Sew Renewable?
Our venture was sparked by a discovery of a large "stash" of fabric at a yard sale. We wanted it all! But our cupboards are full. We wanted to find a new home for the fabric that might ultimately be tossed in the trash. Keeping fabric out of landfills is a major goal of our business. In doing so, we give quilters and sewers a more sustainable source for purchasing fabrics, supplies, and sewing notions.
Our fabric is sourced primarily through purchases from estate sales, estate auctions, and donations by friends who no longer sew. Due to odors, we have chosen to wash some of the fabric in order to give you a clean, ready to use product.
When we are able to do so, we have been selective in choosing fabrics we purchase, in order to provide you with a quality product. Our choices have given us an inventory with a large variety of fabrics.

Sew Renewable LLC

Glenda

Welcome King's Treasure to our second annual Paducah Quilt Show!
King's Treasures- We will keep you in stitches!
King's Treasures has been making machine embroidery for quilters since 2004. We had our beginning in the quilting craft show markets and decided after a few years to start focusing on making products that would aid quilters in creating their own masterpieces.
Currently we do Quilting shows in the eastern half of the United States from Florida to Maine. Our most western show is in Paducah, KY. We'd love to see you at a show. Please check out the schedule online.
All of our products are created with the utmost of care with you the quilter in mind. We make quilts and use our products. We hope that you enjoy them and welcome any feedback or any product wish list that you have.

Wilson's Calico Corner's Home base is in Western Pennsylvania Amish country but we travel to cities far and wide but always east of the Mississippi. Our nomadic quilt life started 43 years ago when I was asked to participate in the Kutztown Folk Festival and has grown from there. As our customers always say "We have the prettiest fabrics" and our own line of patterns in answer to the repeated requests for our unique designs. This will be our second year participating in The Paducah Quilt Show and we are so excited to be doing so.
