The American Quilter’s Society (AQS) QuiltWeek show is not your grandmother’s quilt display. It’s a full-on celebration of creativity, color and craftsmanship that will leave even non-quilters in awe. “People will be blown away by what they see,” shared Michelle Renee Hiatt, director of AQS. “People who don’t quilt may have an image in their mind of what a quilt looks like, but they will be surprised by what these quilts look like. Even if you are not a quilter, if you have a love of art and fiber, it’s worth coming to the show to see the talent that’s out there.” The QuiltWeek show will be held from Wednesday, Sept. 10, through Saturday, Sept. 13, at Spooky Nook Sports, 75 Champ Blvd., Manheim. It will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday through Friday, Sept. 12, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The show will feature workshops, lectures, special events and more. “There will be classes in color, technique, appliqué, fabric painting,” Hiatt said. “We also offer classes to learn how to quilt on domestic, sit-down longarm and longarm machines. Those are classes you don’t often see.” Many of the instructors offer kits for sale, and the machines necessary to work on the projects will be on-site, she said. “ This is also an excellent opportunity to learn,” she noted. “If you are thinking about purchasing a sewing machine, this gives you the perfect opportunity
