Ronda is a dear, dear friend and I am the founder of MQX. MQX is Machine Quilters Exposition and it takes place in Providence, Rhode Island, April 12-17,2010. MQX has over $20,000 in prizes and prize money for the competition. We hire 3 NQA certified judges and the show is juried (with some exempt categories... kids, charity, emerging entrants). There are over 140 classes at the show in machine quilting, art, drawing and piecing on all kinds of quilting machines ..... domestic, midarm and longarm.
Ronda was our Special Exhibit machine quilter this past spring at MQX. There were 25 of her quilts on display and all worthy of gawking in amazement. Her works in mind boggling (and she's humble too) and I love her like a sister.
MQX will add a second show in the fall of 2011 in Portland, Oregon at the Oregon Convention Center.
Sorry to blather on and on..... thanks for listening!
