I've shown a few quilts in different quilt shows and rather enjoyed the process until I scribed for a judge. One of the judges was sick so there weren't as many judges as there should have been which made more work and a slower process for the judges that were there. The judge I ended up following had other plans at a certain time and kept commenting how slow it was going. When he went to his area to judge the quilts he did try to hurry the process and kept telling me to write more quilting needed on ALL the quilts that weren't really heavily quilted like a rug. I was very disappointed as many that he passed over this way were perfect and more quilting would not have enhanced them. This was especially disappointing for the hand quilted ones that were judged against the machine quilted ones since WE know how much longer hand quilting takes. Even though judgement is subjective I have had a bad taste in my mouth ever since. Now I just go to the shows for pure enjoyment of the beautiful quilts and nothing more.
