it was very interesting to read your thoughts on the comments a reader shared with you. although i never see myself entering in a show (just not of interest to me), i will say that i agree with you. those of us that are traditional quilters need to keep our “voice” out there. there have been so many times in the past few years that i’ve walked away from a quilt show disappointed at *only* seeing one kind of style (art). i enjoy looking at all of the different kinds…and there are far too little traditional ones out there.

i think one of the reasons why i would never enter one of my quilts in a show is because i don’t care for the very heavy quilting that seems to be so popular nowadays. the majority of the quilts look like they would be stiff as a board and probably stand on their own with all of the intense quilting. definitely not a kind of quilt i’d want to curl up with. ;o)
