National Show Management
I was at the World of Quilts Show in Manchester, NH (Mancusco/Quilt Fest). Quite a few of us (the attendees) noticed that there were many quilts made from patterns/kits and books, yet not one person gave credit to the designer. (Nor where there many credits given to the people who longarm quilted the quilts). I spoke with David Mancusco and he basically blew me off with "we can't regulate what people write for their entry forms". Oh yes they can!
I've seen entry blanks for other shows that state clearly that the quilter MUST give credit to the designer. Many don't allow kit quilts to be entered. Others state that if the quilt pattern comes from a book or magazine, it must be listed as such. If the judges find out that the quilt is not original and no credit is given, it is disqualified from the show.
What do you think? Thanks!
