Just got back from Paducah quilt show.
The show was super nice but there didn't seem to be as many quilts entered as it use to be. I didn't like the fact some categories were at separate venues. I'm sure many show goers didn't see all of them. The top winning quilts were almost perfect but not my choices at all. LOL Usually you can tell by the who the judges are which quilts will be considered for Best of Show and the quilt that won fit right in with their work. Most of the quilts were pictorial and sampler quilts this year. Lots of embellishments. To me the crystals and beads do not add anything to a quilt to make it better. But the judges seem to love it. The vendors were wonderful and plenty. My favorite is to watch the demonstration of the tools and techniques. Other then a bad motel room the quilt show was fun and very inspiring.
