Too, the machine quilting has come so far it might be time to figure out a way to separate the quilting from the quilt when judging and then combine it for a total "score" when judging. Interesting comment that only one judge was involved in this judging, not sure I would enter if I knew that before I entered. At any rate thanks again, for a great picture show of these quilts. You know how to get close and closer for things we want to see!Susie Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893377527974815997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547359357445201023.post-7780195194865747002014-07-11T14:39:37.121-05:002014-07-11T14:39:37.121-05:00Thank you for the photos -- I enjoyed them all.

The last show I went to in my area had 75 quilts -- all machine quilted by the same person (can we say b.o.r.i.n.g.) and only 1 hand quilted quilt. I'm not even going to bother going to the show this year. That's why I love your quilt show pictures so much.Maddie Can Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00958817072275895189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547359357445201023.post-87017852573703251152014-07-09T10:44:02.032-05:002014-07-09T10:44:02.032-05:00Thank you for the photos of these lovely quilts, I...Thank you for the photos of these lovely quilts, I feel like I went to show myself!

I am from the Buffalo NY, area, and a group of us drove to Erie, PA, and joined a group going to the show by bus. I am not the shopper all my friends were, so I was lucky enough to have two days looking at quilts; I think I photographed almost every quilt. While I am not a hand quilter, and probably don't appreciate the technique as much as those who are, I thought the quilts that received ribbons were so perfect they looked like they had been quilted by a robot. That just does nothing for me; I like the word "soulless" that Elsa used. There was only one judge for this show, which I thought was just crazy; her taste, and hers alone, was what was going to be the deciding factor on what would be the winning quilts. Our guilds usually get three, and we get judges that are well versed in different areas of quilting. Another thing that was different from anything I see in our area, were all the "bejeweled" quilts. I kind of liked them! Of course, I am like a monkey and like shiny things. Anyway, it was great to see the Rhapsody quilt in person!

They seem to put to much emphasis on marveling about the technique.
