Somewhat related, the Northern Star Quilters’ Guild show (many think of them as the Somers guild) will not be presenting their show in 2026 but postponing it until 2027.  Their most recent venue at SUNY Purchase presented many challenges (especially parking), and the show’s operational expenses increased significantly. News that AQS would be mounting a show in Hartford, CT two weeks before their annual event contributed to the NSQG board’s decision to postpone.
