			<description><![CDATA[After seeing this entry and all the comments I have to add my opinion. As a wearable artist I have been saddened that quilted wearables have been dropped by shows or watered down to accept items with little or no quilting. This is a great costume, but belongs at Cosplay, not a quilt show. It is no different than if I entered the wedding dress I made for my granddaughter that has beautiful hand beading and appliques, fits like a glove, but has no QUILTING!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Interesting how the comments that weren't glowing and gushing about this being in a quilt show were removed from the comments when the new picture of him wearing the costume was added. As I said in the post that wasn't included. While this is a very good example of a costume, and I enjoyed seeing it in the pictures, it certainly isn't quilted (unless stuffing the tentacles is somehow considered "quilting") , and I can't see why anything like it would be entered in a quilt show. It seems like the "quilt shows" are letting anything be entered now.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There are truly wonderful fiber artists out there! Beautiful sewing. I have always enjoyed the creativity shown in the wearable category at PIQF. Creativity is the reason to go to shows, ideas and enjoyment are everywhere, even if I would not personally wear or decorate with all of the entries.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[PIQF has a small display of maybe 20 to 25 pieces of wearable clothing and about that many vests and jackets. The articles are always artful interesting and well done. There are over 400 quilts so the wearables these do not distract at all.]]></description>
