Judging at Paducah in 2009

Why is it that in this day and age only the quilts of people with obsessive work habits seem to walk off with the biggie prizes? The quilt that won best of show at Paducah this April also won the Founder's Prize in Houston last October. A write-up about this prize winner from Australia revealed that the woman who made it spent 17,000 hours over four years to create her masterpiece.

Do you suppose the woman has servants to do her mundane things like grocery shopping and laundry?? :-)


Here's a list of the AQS show winners.
