My husband attended this show with me. He is beginning to realize I might have some artistic ability. I heard him say to one of his friends, “We’re in Auburn, NY. Beth has a quilt in a big show here. It isn’t the “Superbowl of Quilting,” but it is like the playoffs!” I remember telling him about Quilt National. When I realized he didn’t quite “get it,” I told him it is sort of like the Superbowl of Quilting! He got that and is now using sports analogies to explain to his guy friends about our travels to exhibits I’m in.
And now for the winners...(I lifted these words from Pam Holland’s blog. The images of the quilts are not for publication by anyone viewing this blog, please respect the rights of the original designers and creators. I’m sharing them for your sheer enjoyment.)
Best of Show—lots of surface design work (as you can see in the detail photo).
First Prize—lots of thread on this piece.
Second Prize—great movement in this piece.
Third Prize—lots of color in this piece.
Schweinfurth Award for Excellence—I had to take extra pics so you could see that this is three dimensional. The artist hand dyed the batting (which is the color you see in this piece).
Award for Surface Design—loved the graffiti on the buildings.
If you get a chance to see this exhibit in person, do it! You won’t be disappointed. I’ll be posting some more pictures from the show later this week, so stay tuned. There are some FABULOUS quilts to come.

Wow, wow, wow!!!! Thanks so much for adding the detail pic and artist statement. You don't appreciate some of the work if you don't see all the detail! Just stunning work!!! I'm actually going back to look at the pics closer!!!! And congrats for being included in the show!!!!
Oh my gosh, these are great. You should feel mighty proud to be there with your quilt. I am glad Nate finally got it.
Thank you for posting! I am not able to attend the show and am very curious about the other artists and quilts. I wish they printed a catalog.
Thanks for the photos, it looks like a wonderful show
You did a wonderful service to us who cannot attend the show by taking and posting these pictures. I'm certain all the pieces in this show were all winners! I've never imagined myself of anything but a "traditional" quilt maker but one did give me inspiration to "maybe" try one.
