how do you pick the category in a show?
I entered my first show and THEY put me in the machine quilted category -
though the majority of the quilting was done by hand, not all of it was! I machine quilted around my stars and in the border. -- Lady Cynthia, Royal Musicmaker http://photos.yahoo.com/cbet_99 http://www.one-eleven.net/~music/ Remember, once you get over the hill, you'll begin to pick up speed.

If you machine pieced a mosaic 'picture' in squares, then applique a big lacework thing over it, would you pick 'applique' or 'pieced'? (I picked applique) And the boundary between "baby (smaller than twin)" and "wallhanging" seems a mighty fine line possible only visible to the beholder's eye. I guess the advantage is that since you can only make 1 entry in a category, it kind of gives you 2 for 1. If you made a "baltimore" style applique of blocks and strip pieced the border, what would you pick? the maker last night picked "miscellaneous", which made no sense to me; I would have picked applique since the 'baltimore' stuff seemed the dominant design element. "Miscellaneous" is always a tough category to win; and it seems like you're always comparing apples to oranges. It seemed to me the place for the yo-yos, the wearable quilts and others that aren't really 'flat', or maybe quilts or patchwork made of non-traditional materials, like natural rabbit skins. BTW, my quilts did GREAT. One got 'champion' and the other got 'reserve champion'. They are the 1st 2 quilts in the web site below if you're interested in seeing them. -- susan kraterfield see my quilts: http://members.cox.net/kratersge |
