that's a lovely quilt. In our fair, machine and hand quilting are separate categories. We just got separation on embroidery. It might not hurt to ask who sets up the categories. My guild runs the fair's show, pays the prize money and hires the outside, licensed judge, so although judging is independent, categories are not and fit the trends in local submissions.

I agree with you totally. Now in our quilt show, I believe that quilts that use machine embroidery should be separate from hand embroidery blocks. But, I guess we have to limit our awards since we are a small group. (40 members)

Your quilt is lovely and congratulations on your ribbon. Some shows have separate categories for hand and machine quilting, but some do not. I scribed for a certified judge who made the comment that well done is well done no matter the technique.
