Review:
You know that 2014 is going by fast when 2015 calenders are coming out in stores. While you can easily wait until the end of the year to grab a free calender at a bank, many of us like unique calenders, like of our favorite television series, favorite sports team or favorite hobby. Whatever your likes are, there are plenty of calenders to choose from.

| Back Cover, Showcasing Each Quilt! |
I have many quilters in my family, including my mother, though I don't quilt myself (but I do know how to cross stitch), I have a fondness for the hobby. Since I grew up with quilters, I was dragged to quilt shops and hobby stores during my childhood, so I'm educated well about quilting. That being said, I took and interest in reviewing a quilting themed calendar. There are many quilting calendars on the market from different publishers. After reading good things about last year's wall calender from the American Quilter's Society, I nicely requested to review the 2015 calender and they generously sent me a complementary calender to review.
The calender features thirteen beautiful quilts that were selected from the winners of the 2014 AQA QuiltWeek at Paducah, Kentucky.
The quilt titles and creators are:
| Cover Bradford Fantasy #1 by Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry January ElaTed by Ted Storm February Blue Moon by Claudia Clark Myers & Marylin Badger March Two of Us by Sue Nickels & Pat Holly April Dream Houses by Karen Turnbull May Mangolia by Sylvia Gegaregian June Learn & Grow by Sugar Cube Quilters July Millefiori by Sherry Rogers Harrison August Roses for Katrina by Gail H. Smith & Pat Barry September Dans les Bains de Maroc by Robin Gausebeck October Kaleidoscopic Calamity by Margaret Solomon Gunn November Feathers & Firearms by Joanne Baeth December My Favorite Thing by Pam Moller |
From traditional to contemporary, the wall calender covers about any kind quilt theme imaginable. Each quilt is stylish with bright colors and dazzling designs, which I can see why these quilt makers won awards for their designs. My two favorites is September's Dans les Bains de Maroc (coincidentally my birthday is in September) and November's Feathers & Firearms, as I live in the mid-west, so anything with barns and tractors gets my vote. Overall, American Quilter's Society 2015 Wall Calendar is a wonderful calender with vibrating quilts that quilt lovers will love to display in their home.
