HeidiKaisand Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 The stats are amazing--387 pieces are showcased at the 26th Annual AQS Show and Contest. These were selected from hundreds of entries. AQS president Meredith Shroeder says, "Just being selected to exhibit your quilt in this prestigious show is an honor. To place in one of the fifteen categories is the ultimate goal of quilters the world over." I want to capture all of the creative APQS owners that are hung in this show. I have my camera and will take pictures of all the participants. The photographed quilts will be showcased in the APQS.com Gallery over the next few weeks and months. Reply to this thread and let me know if your quilt is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shorequilt Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have a quilt in the large wall category named Sundance. Would LOVE to see a picture of it hanging in Paducah! Wish I could be there.... Thanks. Deb Crine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merryjo2003 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 The Julian Women's Club quilt is hanging in the "Quilt in a Day" booth. Close, but no cigar........Ha-ha.....does that count? I haven't ever tried to enter a quilt of my own in a quilt show. Only customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have two customer quilts in Paducah. I'm assuming both of them are in an embroidered type category. My customer, Charlotte Wright is does amazing embroidery on Her quilts and it's a real priviledge to quilt them. One is teal with a Peacock theme and the other, if I remember right is black & red with tons of heavily embroidered roses on it. Both of these quilts are also on my facebooks in the quilt picture albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnCavanaugh Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Doodlebug, Way to go! It was fun to hear at the awards show that your collaborator commented she didn't realize until the entire quilt was done that she had done all the mistletoe berries in the wrong color! Jessica, I haven't had a chance to get to all the quilts but it's Heidi's mission to get a photo of all the APQS winners:). Marilyn Badger and Claudia Myers made several trips up the stairs to accept awards last night, so much so that EmCee Libby Lehman quipped that they should have their own "green room" backstage to reduce the number of times they's have to climb the steps:). Marilyn and Claudia won first place in Small Wall Longarm, Third Place in Large Wall Longarm, and collected their award for their winning quilt in the "Sunflowers...new quilts from an old favorite" contest. I was honored to present the judges choice awards on behalf of APQS as sponsors of that category, and even got to walk across the stage myself to collect a first-place award in Large Longarm Wall for Garden Frost, on which I collaborated with Pat Johnson of Des Moines. It's been a great show so far...it's hard to imagine that there are any quilters still left at home after seeing the throngs of people in Paducah! If you're coming to the show, be sure to say "Hi" at the booth...we're in the main Convention Center down the right-hand aisle:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
