What Does a UNESCO Creative City Look Like?

Have you ever visited a UNESCO Creative City? If you are a quilter, you’ll love Paducah, Kentucky. Indeed, this charming town in the Blue Grass State has a lot to offer to quilters.  From Quilt Week to the National Quilt Museum and everything in between, quilters will feel right at home.

Paducah sits at the southwestern tip of Kentucky on the border with southern Illinois. Historians believe that the explorer William Clark named the town for the Comanche people of the western plains.  They were known as the ‘Padoucas‘. 

Now, this city has much to offer on all levels.  For example, outdoor recreation along the river, great dining and shopping, family-friendly activities and attractions, art galleries, theatres, museums, tours and trails. 

However, our main purpose here is to look at Paducah’s longtime quilting tradition.  In addition to The National Quilt Museum, there is Quilt Week, quilt events and workshops, and the wonderful quilt and fabric shops.  Hancock’s of Paducah is a very large and internationally known fabric shop. 

In short, see for yourself.  Check out this creative city, and plan your trip now.
