I agree with everyone else when they said it was like being there without the crowds and aching feet (and empty wallets too, I bet!). Pictures are wonderful, and my congratulations too, to all the winners. Having a quilt accepted makes for winners from the start.

It is all I can do to get brave enough to enter mine in the local guild show. I did this year. I don't expect to win, but I want some feedback. Entering can be a learning experience too.

We saw some of the big winners at MDQX in VA recently. We'll see the big winners at the AQS shows, and any show that is "juried". As BJ and I commiserated at that show, there just weren't enough ribbons to go around because the quality of all the work was amazing. I think my local quilt shows accept everyone

Susan, I had the same reaction time and time again while at Paducah...how can THIS gorgeous quilt not have won a ribbon? There are so many talented quilters who send their quilts there! Wish I could give them all a ribbon!

Speaking of which, does anyone know how to find out the Viewers' Choice winner? I looked at the AQS website, but didn't find it.

I'm late to this forum topic, but so glad I found it! Thanks, Connie, for the great tour of Paducah....almost feel like I was there, without the crowds and the aching feet! Have also realllly enjoyed the discussions involving attending the show, showing quilts, etc. Thanks to everyone for the great input and to Connie for the great pics...you really met up with a lot of very familiar faces. It almost looks like Paducah has a small-town feel with so many "celebrities" being accessible! Thanks again for taking us with you!

That's why it's called a purchase prize

Okay, I hadn't really thought about Connie's questions before because my stuff is not ready for juried entry anywhere. At this point, I'm just "filling up my tool belt" and improving my skills. But if a quilter has a quilt that looks like it just might be an out of the ordinary prize winner she/he wouldn't want it to appear first in Paducah. If you left your quilt at the museum you couldn't enter it in any other shows. Right? Hadn't thought about it but I guess there would be a hierarchy of kinds of shows and entering quilts in them requires educating yourself about them. Following Sherry Reynold's blogg last year gave me a peak into having a quilt make the circuit. Well, I don't have to think about all that because at this point the place I am hoping to head with my stuff is the county fair. From the viewers standpoint, I guess the Paducah show would be one of the best places to see quilts that have been winning prizes all over the place. Is that right?
