Welcome to the home of AQ magazine. Come Discover, Inspire, and Create with us!

For over 40 years, American Quilter magazine has been the go-to publication for quilting enthusiasts of all levels. Published by the American Quilter’s Society (AQS), the magazine has continually provided its readers with inspiring stories, innovative techniques, and expert advice from some of the most talented quilters in the industry.

In addition to its regular features, AQ magazine has also been a platform for sharing the stories behind the quilts—the personal journeys, challenges, and triumphs that make each quilt unique. The magazine celebrates the diversity of the quilting world, shining a light on the various cultures, techniques, and artistic expressions that make this craft so special.

Published bi-monthly, AQ magazine is an essential resource for anyone passionate about quilting. It’s more than just a magazine; it’s a source of inspiration, education, and community for quilters everywhere. As we celebrate 40 years of quilting excellence, we look forward to continuing our mission of preserving and promoting the art of quilting for many more years to come.

Join us in celebrating the timeless art of quilting with American Quilter magazine, where every stitch tells a story.

American Quilter Magazine Submission Guidelines

As your go-to resource for top quality quilting patterns, innovative tips, new products, quilting news, and close-up looks at the latest AQS quilt contest winners, American Quilter (AQ) magazine strives to bring you the best of the best in quilting six times per year.

At AQS, one of our favorite mottoes is “We can’t wait to see what you create.” It is a privilege for us to consider any previously unpublished, quilt-related patterns or feature articles that you would like to submit to our magazine. An AQ magazine subscription is an integral part of membership in the American Quilter’s Society, and it is mailed or sent as a digital subscription to over 65,000 members. AQ can also be found at Barnes & Noble, JoAnn’s, and at AQS QuiltWeek events.

We carefully consider every pattern or feature that comes our way. While it is impossible to publish every submission, we look forward to seeing what you have in mind. Digital submissions are required; we invite you to send your original, unpublished patterns or feature articles along with high quality images as attachments along with a cover letter to magazine@americanquilter.com. Please use the word “Submission” within the subject line.

We would like to see:

Fresh new patterns.

Unique technique articles.

Nonfiction quilting interest features.
