			<description><![CDATA[The destruction of the quilts was in Houston, but I cannot remember the year. It was after the show, as they were taking down the quilts. The next year the security was raised quite a bit. If I remember correctly it was a quilter who had a feud with another quilter and was very angry. They threw bleach on a quilt and I believe it splashed over to other entrants. Sad day for quilters.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I heard this story in the 1980's--possibl y Quilter's Newsletter Magazine. It makes me sick every time. There were so many wonderful original entries that reflected the theme of "progress". BTW, I just looked at Amazon and one bookseller has it for $500! I don't think so.....!!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Mary Fons referenced a quilt being ruined when paint was thrown on it at a show but couldn't find any info on it. I think it was probably the 2002 incident at the show in Houston when bleach was thrown onto an award winning quilt on purpose. The story is on pg. 32 https://books.google.com/books?id=q5dEWkogijMC&pg=PA34&lpg=PA34&dq=bleach+thrown+on+a+quilt+at+Paducah+AQS+show&source=bl&ots=8PSIv4JaOj&sig=p3h46WhHrVXu8ONIBtFDDCbQG7c&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwidvbDc5azWAhXEy4MKHX2GAxQQ6AEITjAF#v=onepage&q=bleach%20thrown%20on%20a%20quilt%20at%20Paducah%20AQS%20show&f=false]]></description>
