“Heat Wave”

The day before judging the Umpqua Valley Quilters’ Guild show, we went to the Umpqua Valley Arts Center to view the latest High Fiber Diet (HFD) Exhibit entitled Heat Wave. HFD is a small group within the Columbia FiberArts Guild, of which I’m a member. HFD members seek out various regional venues for their themed […]

“Dreaming of Diamonds” in Roseburg

Last week I judged for the Umpqua Valley Quilters’ Guild along with Gerrie Thompson and Val Pellins, two quilters who attended my Two-Day Quilt Judging Seminar a couple years ago. They have been judging since. Here is our pick for Best of Show. This is the second time in three years Doris has won best […]

Bonnie Keller–Best of Show Winner

I would be remiss if I did not post the Best of Show from the Clark County Quilters Show. I judged with fellow certified judges Carol Brooks and Elizabeth Spannring. We had quite a challenge deciding which among several superb quilts was the Best of Show. We ultimately agreed upon Bonnie Keller’s wonderful quilt. Here’s […]

Here are ten more quilts that caught my eye. Some won awards. Some did not. But I think they are all successful for one reason or another. In no particular order– This quilt was in a special exhibit from the Portland Modern Quilt Guild and was not a part of the judged show. That’s why […]

What a Display!

Clark County Quilters had the final exhibition of the World Heritage Sites International  Challenge among the show’s special exhibits. I had no idea what any of the quilts looked like other than my own and didn’t know what to expect. Wow! I was impressed. Ninety quilts thematically linked make a wonderful display. While there was […]

Judge’s Choice–Joanne Roth

At most shows, judges are given an award called Judge’s Choice or a similar name, which the judge bestows upon a quilt for any reason the judge likes. Sometimes there is a quilt that has already received an award that is so outstanding or unique, I award it my judge’s choice. But generally, I try […]

Judith Phelps–Thread Artist

I’ve been remiss to not follow up with more quilts from the Clark County Quilters Show. But I’ve been occupied getting my own quilts ready for my featured quilter exhibit at the upcoming Northwest Quilters Show May 11 and 12. In fact, I still have one wall hanging to quilt and bind/face. Nevertheless, I want […]

On Wednesday fellow judge Carol Brooks and I gave the NACQJ (National Association of Certified Quilt Judges) Award of Merit to Lynn Czaban for her quilt “Untitled” exhibited at the Clark County Quilters Guild Show. Lynn is the only two-time recipient of our award. She happened to be teaching the class on her portrait technique […]
