Thank You Archives - American Quilt Retailer

As 2019 draws to a close we took some time to reflect on everything that’s happened in the past year. Notre Dame burned, the Washington Nationals won their first-ever World Series, and we saw the first image of a Black Hole.

At American Quilt Retailer, we survived two International Quilt Markets, released our 150th issue, hosted educational sessions, and so much more.

Starting a new year, and even a new decade, is a great time to evaluate the direction you want your life, your relationships, and your business to go. What did 2010 look like? Are you happy with where you’ll be in 2020? In the words of Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

As we reflect on the past year, everybody at AQR wants to thank you all for your continued support.

We’ve had a lot happen; we hired new members, we increased consistency of our blog, and we released our first digital issue. And we’re planning for a lot more to happen in 2018.

And some things stayed the same. We still enjoyed ourselves at the fall Quilt Market (and with our Schoolhouse Series), we still celebrated outstanding quilt shops, and we still learned new techniques to share with our beloved customers.

AQR knows we wouldn’t be where we are today without you, the reader. We take pride in being able to connect a community and encourage small business owners across the nation, so thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.

We hope as you reflect on 2017 you find yourself content with your successes, and everyone at AQR wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2018.
