Table of contents for Fall/Winter 2020 in Quilt Sampler

In the April 1994 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting® magazine, the editorial staff asked readers to nominate their favorite quilt shops. We heard about more than 300 shops from across the United States and Canada, and the nominations were whittled down to 10. In the fall of 1995, the first issue Quilt Sampler® went on sale and featured 10 shops, 10 exclusive quilt patterns, and a bonus traveler’s guide to all 386 nominated shops.
