QUILT JUDGING

PHILOSOPHY

​

I view quilt judging as an opportunity for education and growth for both judges and participants alike. I provide positive and constructive comments to quilters with the goal of supporting their ongoing development. I strive to be fair, impartial, and objective in my evaluations, and I am committed to continuously improving my judging practices. I believe that quilt judging is not just about awarding ribbons but also about celebrating quilters' artistry, craftsmanship, and creativity worldwide. I am honored to play a role in showcasing the incredible talent and passion within the quilting community.

SERVICES

​

Services for judging include examination of quilt and quilted items, at your location, with positive and constructive comments for each entry. Typically, I will allocate 4 minutes to the review of an entry. This will allow for 2-3 positive comments and 2-3 constructive comments. At this time, I can comfortably evaluate approximately 100 quilts in 8 hours, including comments, placement, and special awards. I am available to answer questions about category definitions, comment sheets, special awards, judging floor set-up, procedures, and any other questions you may have.
