#quilting #paducah
Are you a quilter? I have so much respect for folks who quilt. The craftsmanship and artistry put into the quilts is amazing 🧵
Really interesting thank you, love your videos , enjoy seeing your Gourgous dogs 🐶🐶🥰Fr.Australia
Unfortunatly no. I do have a respect for them also.
Food question… is there gluten free vegan options that you noticed?
I make quilts, have not had the pleasure of quilt week, or Hancock's yet. I visited Paducah before, and I really enjoyed the quilt museum. I loved the murals and the river front.
I'm learning to quilt and just love the art of it.
My maternal grandmother made quilts from fabric of clothing that weren't worn anymore & always told a story. So glad to see people are still quilting. Grandma stitched every single piece of fabric. Lots of love goes into making these memories.
That's interesting.....I'm sure there was a story in the clothing. I love that! I've seen quilts made as high school graduation gifts...and the quilts are made from the kids' old tshirts. It represents all of the great things that student was involved in, loved, enjoyed and represented during their school years.
My mother is one of the very first members of the AQS Society (I actually think she is member 001). She spoke with the Schroeders quite often as the AQS was formed and was very active in the early years of the show. She loves quilting and the bond quilters share. As a native Paducah resident (as am I) she is pleased with the love the quilters have shown our beautiful river town all these years ❤️.
Ms. R you might not have a red blazer BUT make no mistake you are a total PADUCAH, KY ambassador. L-O-V-E!♥
Thanks Ella!! ❤️
Do not know how I missed this video. I am heartbroken that I did not know about this Quilters heaven. In Florida many of the original quilters stores started closing many years ago. I only used the best material, threads etc. for my quilting. I hand quilted only. I have made 50 quilts or more that aren’t put together yet. That was my piece of heaven on earth. Rheumatoid arthritis has stopped my quilting but still love it. I hope to be able to make it there next year to see how things have changed. I loved the old fashioned patterns and making material choices that are definitely girly. My favorite are my Christmas quilts and the holidays. Thank you for the info and renewing my excitement. Who knows at my old age I may buy a new machine and learn to machine quilt. Renee was that your ice cream store. Would have loved to go inside. Thank you for making my day.
I love quilts...they are like "works of art". My Grammy-in-law used to quilt...even into her 90's...but, had to eventually stop, because her eye sight was starting to effect her. But, we all got beautiful quilts when we got married. She asked us what colour we wanted & made custom-made wedding gifts for us. I treasure my quilt to this day...& it reminds me of her. A much treasured item of mine. 👍😊👏😍 Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊 I would love to visit Paducah one day...👍😊
That sounds like a beautiful treasure as a wedding gift. The quilts are absolutely stunning and I wish I could have shown them in the video. Seeing them up close and in person is amazing.
You did a fantastic job of showing us the friendly town of Paducah KY during the quilting show. You deserve a "Red Blazer" for sure. Loved seeing your old ice cream shop.
So awesome! We here in Oshkosh have the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) annually that brings between 200,000 and 300,000 individuals attending the event. The large number of aircraft arrivals and departures during the fly-in week makes the Wittman Field FAA control tower the busiest in the world for that week. It really boosts our city financially and the members fly in from all over the world.
I am not a quilter but I LOVE the art of it! I've seen so many beautiful designs and they always remind me of my grandparents and my mom who quilted in their life time. Thanks for sharing this spectacular event...I never knew Paducah was known for being Quilt City USA! So cool!
Oh wow!!! That is a huge event!
I used to live in Paducah and loved every minute of it. The fabrics in Hancocks was amazing and beautiful as big as Costco. I learned how to quilt there and will never forget the enjoyment I felt while I was there.
Oh wow!!!
I am a quilter and would just love to travel there! Your a lucky girl I’m so jealous
Come visit one day! You would love it here :)
Someday I’m sure I will ,it’s on my list! Just recently found your channel and love it I started intermittent fasting about a week prior to seeing your videos Just in a short time, it made such a difference. I’ll keep watching, and you keep putting out those fabulous videos for us. Take care, and God bless.
Now I have to call all my quilter friends (sadly, I don't have the talent) to see if they have been to Paducah for quilt week, and if not, why not! This looks to be so much fun! Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, I'm a quilter!
I love it!! 💕 Have you every been to Paducah for Quilt Week?
No, unfortunately, I am in Canada, and being of a certain age and with some health challenges, I am unable to travel that far. Have been to many local quilt shows but would love to visit your lovely city one day. Thanks for showing us around.
Thank you for sharing your downtown during Quilt week. I'm going to have to lookup your quilt shops and fabric stores. I use to make Mt clothes and joined a quilt club with my mom. Finally, I'm getting back into it but so much has changed . Now they have precuts verses the cuts of fabric from a bolt. You have a gorgeous city & thanks for sharing with us! 😂❤❤
My grandmother made a quilt for all of her grandchildren for their high school graduation which was back in the 1960’s! My daughter has mine!
Me and my cousin came to Paducah a few years ago. We really enjoyed the museum and going shopping for fabric. Now it's marked off my bucket list
So glad you did this video! I've always wanted to go to the quilt show in Paducah, but never had the opportunity. Thanks for showing a little of what is going on there.
You're welcome! Hopefully you'll get to visit Paducah one day 💗
I love your video. I’m a new quilter in my mid 60’s when I decided to join the quilting party. ( after my retirement) I live in San Diego but I grew up in southern Indiana and I’ve known Paducah existed but I thought of it as a place for boaters and partners or skiers. I’m so glad it is so much more. Thanks for taking the time to share your pretty little town. I’m definitely making Hancock ‘s. A priority.😂😂
Thank you for sharing! My son works at Hancock’s and yes it’s insanity during quilt week but we are so happy to welcome all the quilters!
Also the Hancock’s are wonderful people to work for 😊
You need that red jacket! 😂
You did a great job showing Paducah and Quilt Week in Paducah. You sure made me want to come!
I just found your channel & you made me so homesick. I was born & raised in Paducah, Ky. I have lived in Florida for the past 16 years. I am hopeing that by next spring I can move back to Paducah. Thanks so much for sharing this video.
Hello! I'm a quilter who lives in Northern VA and we do not have any large fabric stores except very old JoAnn Fabric stores, so the opportunity to visit that huge Hancocks would be awesome. I can understand the attraction, for sure! I also agree that YOU should become an Ambassador :)
Hancock's is always packed with people during Quilt Week...and now I know why! It's great!
Michelle, we drove down from Ashburn this year and had a great time. Made a great short vacation stopping in a few towns along the way to visit more quilt shops! I think I made it to 7 during the trip’
@@heathersheeley-johns5258 So jealous!
My cousins and I got to make a quick trip to Paducah about 8 years ago. Unfortunately it was a rainy Monday and lots of the shops were closed but still had a nice time. Beautiful little town! Hope I get to come back some day!
I have lived in Paducah for two years now and enjoyed your video so much. You definitely have to get one of those red blazer. You are such a great ambassador and friend to all of us who watch your RUclips videos. Thank you Renee!
Hi Renee! Very interesting video! I don't quilt but I think they are so beautiful. Thanks for taking us around!❤
This makes me wish I was a quilter! I have no creative bones in my body (math I can do, creativity--not so much), so I really admire not only the sewing skill of the quilters, but their creativity as well. I don't sew very well--I think I'm too impatient and get really frustrated if I make a mistake and have to take things apart and start over. And goodness knows I make a lot of mistakes when I try to sew. And I think you would be an outstanding ambassador for Paducah! Your love for your beautiful city shines through every video when you talk about Paducah.
This is great! I follow you for my curly hair but I’m also a quilter! Thanks for highlighting your beautiful town.
Renee, what a wonderful video. Thanks for sharing this wonderful tradition in your city. Not a quilter, however, it does look fun.
What a lovely home town you have! I knew you said Quilt Week in Paducah was popular, but how surprising people from other countries came too - it's truly a big deal for quilters and Paducah!
Quilting is huge around here! And it's so fun to meet people from around the world who come to visit Paducah during quilt week
What a beautiful town you live in! So much character! Absolutely loved the video! I don't get to travel much, but this is one way this "Saskatchewan" girl, gets to see more of the interesting places I'd love to visit in person someday! Thank-you!!😊
Thank you this! I am an avid quilter but haven't been able to make it to Paducah yet. It's definitely a goal of mine! Thank you for showing me around! Also, you have amazing hair!
You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it :)
You would be a fantastic ambassador! Hopefully we'll see you in a red blazer next year! 😁😊
Iv been back to Paducah several times in late 1990,s
I loved to shop in Paducah also
Actually lived there in 1970’s
Planning a big birthday trip. Paducah wins!
Glad to know Hancock Fabrics is still open and we can buy online! They closed all of the locations near me.
I hope to someday visit your cute city. Thanks for showing us around!
I have always loved going to vintage markets where you can find the most beautiful quilts ... my favourites are the ones that have been made between 1850-1950 , the patterns and cloth are just amazing 🎉🎉🎉
I'm sure they are lovely!
Oh dear god no Renee... Ladies don't sweat...
"Horses sweat, men perspire and ladies glow gently"
I believe it's an English quote lol. My Grandma would always say it to me growing up lol xxx. Grandma was a Scottish Victorian lady and very proper. 😊😊😊
If I were to design and make a quilt I think it would be in the pattern of beach Peebles xxx
your hair looks so pretty that horse nice made me feel like i was walking with you everything fascinating not to mention beautiful my great grandma made quilts another great video
So glad to have a great tour of Quilt Week! I was at the Quilt Museum in Paducah, but it was something like 10 years ago. I know, I know - what about going again!! Renee did a great job!
This quilt event looks like fun!! thanks, I didn't know about it :)
Great video! It randomly came across my feed this morning. I’ve been to the quilt show many times and it was always a great time. Thank you for the fun video. ❤
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it in Paducah!
Loved Hancock & the Belton, Missouri staff when they were in business there. SO sad when they closed there.
Such a beautiful town! Love the quilting vibe and was hoping for a glimpse of the quilting museum, maybe next time! Thank you for the tour and info.
Hi Denise! Video isn't permitted in the quilt show or museum unfortunately. I would have loved to take you inside!
I'm a self-taught quilter living in a small country off of the far western corner of Europe
used to order my fabric from Hancocks. The pandemic hit and they increased the shipping charges from $24.00 to $170.00. Thanks for the video lovely place to live.
Oh wow!!! That is a big increase to shipping! But love it that you know Paducah :)
@@WelcomeToMyCurls she is wrong about shipping.
Economy is free over $100 of merchandise, delivered 12-16 days - for me it never takes that long,
and express flat rate is only $13.00 for anything over $100. Oh sure you can pay more with FedEx but regular USPS is a bargain
Are those rates for out of the USA?
Most shops will ship for free within the US. Still haven't found a shop that doesn't charge for international. Then there ist the customs costs which are charged in the cost of the fabric and shipping. Does add up.
What a great video Renee. You are truly a great announcer and story teller. I live in Illinois and have never been to quilt week so that was a treat for me. Thanks again for doing that for us. 😊
You should be one of those ambassadors. You are already one so you might as well have one of those red blazers
I agree!!
I have to be honest, I thought 🤔 I wasn't going to be interested in quilt week. I watched because I love you and for support. Little did I know I would really enjoy hearing about quilting 😊 I go to our local fairs and see them. It blows me away how absolutely beautiful they are and which like heck I could make one. Thank you for this video 🥰
Quilting is an art. So much time and effort goes into each piece. My great-great aunt was a quilter and I loved seeing her quilt. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I love quilts! I do not quilt, myself. I do not have the patience for it! I will tell you another reason your Hancock fabric store is so popular. Many of them around the country have closed down! I live in Louisville. There is no Hancock here! Enjoyed your video. I have never visited Paducah, although your little tour makes me want to come down and see y'all! You deserve a red jacket!
Come see us in Paducah Janie!! 😊
Wow thank you for taking us along.
We’ve always wanted to stop and go to the museum as we’ve driven past your town hundreds of times but could not stop because we were driving a semi.
My Grandma made quilts, rugs on a loom and knitted. I do not do any of these. She passed a long time ago when I was a teenager. Back then I had no interest. Now I do but don’t have time. My Grandma’s knowledge of these handcrafted items passed with her as none of her grandchildren had an interest.
Thank you for the one way street warning we’ll remember for our visit.
Oh wow, Renee!! I had no idea all this went on in Paducah!! It looks like so much fun. I live in a small town in NC and we don't even have a fabric store, unless you want to count Walmart. You have to take a drive about 45 minutes to an hour to find a good one in the city. But it's worth it! I'm not a quilter; however, I do crochet. I make prayer shawls. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Another great video of your wonderful small city. I was presented a beautiful large quilt by some ladies here in Maryland. They make quilts of honor for Vietnam Veterans. We are told to use the quilt on our beds but I can't bring myself to do that. I plan to attach it to a frame and display it on a wall in our family room. It will be a family heirloom for many years to come. I greatly appreciate the many hours that the ladies put into making my quilt.
Oooo that is wonderful!
Great video Renee showing off not only Paducah but a great part of Americana that comes together in this little southern town at the convergence of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers. What a lovely job does Paducah as well as its people do to welcome all these visitors, including having town ambassadors to help those visitors around. Here in Calgary we also have White Hatters named so because cowboy town they wear white cowboy hats and a red vest at the airport, which have a wealth of information to provide to any visitor needing assistance.
I think it's great that towns have a "welcome wagon" for it's guests and visitors! Love the white hat and red vest in Calgary ❤️
Wow! What a great video, Renee'. I have to go to your town one day soon!😊
Yes please come visit Paducah! 💗
I’m so glad to find your channel. I’m a part time resident in Marion, KY, and always enjoy my days spent in Paducah. I was so excited to realize how close and easy it was to get there for my play days. I’ve been a quilter for years and I feel like I’ve won the lottery😂
I just found your channel! My husband & I just came into town for one week last June and we've never left.❤ We knew this is where we needed to stop our full time RV traveling life and resettle. We both love this area of Kentucky and are glad to call Paducah our home ❤ - I did learn that many locals avoid the downtown during quilt week (even as a sewers - clothes and home decor for me) it's too crowded, but I might try next year.
Oh Hi Raynee I’ve recently started watching you you are a breath of fresh air. Such a sweet lady and such beautiful hair you have. Just continue being the beautiful woman you are. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!! And welcome 💕
My husband and his family are from Kentucky......I have so many quits passed down to me and some were wedding gifts,I just treasure them!
Oh wow! That's great 😀
Thank you for the awesome tour!!! It was fun. I live in New York City and I love to see how much fun quilters have in other states ❤
Your hair is rockin!!
What a wonderful town! Thanks for taking us on a tour❤️
You were right on!! I went a few years ago and it was exactly as you said.
I live in Frankfort! Love your channel!
Hello neighbor!
I like quilts a lot...curls lookin good...my favorite dog is Pollux, then it would be border collies.
My grandmother was of Amish heritage in Indiana and made quilts as did my Great Grandmother when she was alive. Quilts have always been a part of my life. I am amazed at what Paducah offers and Hancocks is one popular fabric store. Everyone looks like they are having a great time,
Jennifer have you discovered Backyard Fabrics? Its between Murray and Mayfield. She's set up for quilters. More fabrics than you can imagine.
Hi, I stumbled upon the video where you and Stephanie talked about southern accents, and you mentioned about the quilt week in Kentucky. I knew you are from Paducah. A couple of weeks ago, I bought books from an auction in Dyersburg, Tennessee. While I was picking up the books, a guy saw that I got a lot of quilting books, and told me that I should go to Paducah to sell these books because there was a quilting festival going on there. I would have gone there if I didn't have a bookstore to tend. I love your video.
Hi! Yes I live in Quilt City USA…Paducah KY 💕
What a darling wonderful event!!! I loved the pretty white horse all decked out in her feathers pulling the cart! I've only made one quilt but seeing this video makes me want to come to the show. The women are all so nice. The quilt that won is STUNNING!!! Fun video, Rene!
I adore the horse and carriage...and the horse is always dressed up! LOVE IT!!!
Loved your video of Paducah. Never been there but have always wanted to go.
Wish I was able to come there to your town, and see some of the quilting that goes on, I’m a bit of a new beginner of quilting. My husband wanted to help me with quilting when I first started as he likes messing around with machines. He’s a machinist by being taught there learning about an up coming job he was about to learn back years ago when we were first married. He’s since quit helping me, and wants no part of it which is fine, he has others things to do. I’m disabled with a lower pinched nerve in my back that no Dr wants to help me with. So..I can’t sew much of the time, so..I plan to put my husband back to work helping me, as I do what I can for us and our grown son who lives and helps us out a lot. Hopefully all will be happy.
Loved, loved your video. I am a quilter and really wondered, for awhile now what the buzz is in Paducah. I’m going to have to plan a trip for sure. Thank you
Hi! Absolutely visit Paducah soon! We'd love to have you 💕
Your a great ambassador of your state...minus all the usual bladder❤❤❤
I quilted for years but never made it to Paducah. I ordered from Hancocks for years because I could buy bolts of quilt backing and batting for a great price. This was before online shopping was available and I would order from the mail order catalogue. The quilted name tag pins are made in local quilting bees. Sometimes all the members use the same pattern, other times they are very unique.
Oh wow!! Love that!
I’m a quilter and loved the video. 😊 Thanks for sharing the event and your town!
I see a red blazer in your future!!!😊
😁
Enjoyed your video. My husband and I were in Paducah last year we kept getting lost trying to get back to our hotel near the interstate. I was so glad that you said that you’ve been living there 50 years and you still get confused with the one-way streets. L O L made us feel a lot better. I thought maybe we were just crazy Cajuns from Louisiana. We also went by your ice cream shop and got to visit with you, it was a great experience and we love your town, it’s so quaint downtown.
Thanks for taking us to Paducah. I absolutely love the arts district. I miss Whaler's Catch. That was my favorite place to eat. Ohhh I didn't know they had a trolley system! Very cool. I also love to visit during BBQ fest but it's always sooo incredibly hot that weekend.
Hancocks is an iconic institution. I remember getting 2" fabric samples in the mail from Hancock when I was 13-14 years old.
I really am not a fan of diamond intersections and round a bouts. Have the finished the 60/24 interchange? I've been avoiding Paducah because of the road construction. Creative Blessings!
Oh my goodness!
"We Quilt This City" I love it!
That's amazing. I'm just learning how to cross stitch while on vacation and it takes a lot of patience and practice. Definitely not ready for quilting. 😂
wow. I did not know there was a quilt museum.
I was on a bus trip, the Quilt Museum was one of the highlights. Enjoyed watching your video and learning more about the quilting interest and your town. Thanks for sharing. Noticed your ice cream shop in the video.
I love H of P! If I need a specific fabric I get on line to H of P because I know they have it!
I quilt and love it
Fun and interesting Renee 🌟💕🥰 l have so much admiration for the art of quilting ❤️ Imagine being gifted a quilt on your wedding day or significant life event by your family 🧡🧡🧡 So nostalgic 💓 Really enjoyed the interaction with the wagon driver-an awesome representation of the friendly locals showing their love and knowledge of Paducah.
So awesome!!
Interesting video, and such a gracious welcome to Paducah! Thank you! Just as an aside, when I’ve attended fabric or fiber conventions in the past, we would wear matching outfits or identifying bits and bobs so we could find each other if anyone wanted to split up or if we wandered off from the group. It makes it much easier to find each other again in a big, busy convention center or at a designated meeting place off the grounds. ☺️
I always stop in Paducah on my travels. Love it
Fantastic video. How fun to live in the quilt capital. Quilts truly are artwork.
They really are! Seeing them in photos just doesn't do justice. In person, the artwork is amazing.
Thanks for the tour. 🐝🐝🇳🇿
Love love your video ! I live 90 miles away from Paducah! Never knew this about Paducah! Lots of things there and a beautiful town! Thanks for sharing Renee! I might have to visit Paducah soon! Love your UTUBE channel
Great video. I’m going to visit someday Paducah someday. The only down side I saw here was shopping at Hancocks. I’m sure with the amount of shoppers in there, other people would have the fabric I want in their cart. 😂
I’m in Denmark. I’d love to come next year😍!
Nice video. I ordered some fabric about a month ago from Hancock’s of Paducah because when I googled, they had the fabric I wanted.🙂
I was in Paducah last year. I wanted to go to the quilt dtore, but came in as they closed on Saturday and i left early on Sunday. I was on my way to SC. 😢 I want to go back so bad.
I didn’t know that there was such a place! Interesting! I would love to go through it!!🥰
What a great video on this very cool event! 👏 I think you've found ur new calling with broadcasting! 😉 Very entertaining and informative, thankyou! 😊 💖
Glad you enjoyed it!!
OMG, I live in Paducah too and went to the event for the first time 🎉; thank you for your video
That's great! I'm sure you had a great time seeing the quilts in person :)
i am so glad KENTUCKY IS A CRAFTING STATE
I’m not a quilter, but I’d loved to come Paducah just to meet you, girl! ❤
Well come on to Kentucky Kathryn!
I wish they would bring back Fall Paducah - it was just getting a following when the 'C' word hit.
How fun! Thank you. ❤️
Renee where is purple Toad Winery?Thank you for another great video.❤
Hi Betty! Purple Toad Winery is in Paducah on Old Highway 45 (in the Lone Oak area). And actually, they make my favorite wine! I love the flavor Black Current which is strong with blackberries. Yum! You can go there for a wine tasting and sample 10-15 different flavors. Randy and I did that for his birthday last year and that's how I discovered my favorite 💗
Beautiful quilts
