I read an article about the bigger quilt shows not drawing the American quilters like it use to. It quoted some quilters saying the out of country quilts were juried in over American quilters to give the show the international sponsorship. I know I've read bits and pieces about the controversy of the juried big shows and how any art quilt will win over any traditional type quilt. I go to Paducah and the quilts are fantastic in person. Most that are in Houston are in Paducah. That's the end of the quilt circuit for the big show winning quilts because the bigger prize money is given only if the the quilt is donated to the museum.
