<\/a>This year I entered 3 quilts into the show: Fabric of the Year 2016<\/a>, Triple Star<\/a> and Down the Drain<\/a>. No prizes, but I wasn’t expecting any prizes. Two of them had good locations and one had good lighting, but was in a bad location.<\/p>\n FOTY 2016 was in one of the ‘hallway’ locations. It had good lighting, which Julie pointed out, but I didn’t like it being in one of the hallways. People barely look at those quilts and just walk by.<\/p>\n Triple Star probably had the best location. It was in the back of one of the display section, so people could stand in the aisle and look at it.<\/p>\n My picture is a little washed out, but it is a good photo in terms of seeing the quilt straight on.<\/p>\n Down the Drain had a good location in the back of the front hall, but nobody was looking at it.<\/p>\n I don’t know that I’ll enter quilts in PIQF again. I try never to say never, but that is how I am thinking right now. It was really expensive and I don’t really have any hope of ever winning a prize. The prize winners are so large and bedazzled and quilted within an inch of their lives. I don’t really quilt for prizes, but it is still a disappointment when a quilt with an important message like Down the Drain doesn’t get any kind of acknowledgement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PIQF started Wednesday night and goes until Sunday.
