Posted by: BillGardner | February 28, 2008
The International Quilt Association announced two industry leaders are new sponsors in the annual fall edition of the group’s judged show, Quilts: A World of Beauty. Handi Quilter, manufacturer and marketer of long-art quilting machines, frames, and systems, will sponsor the $10,000 Handi Quilter Best of Show Award.
The Quilt Show, an interactive online video/web magazine for quilters, will sponsor the new $7,500 World of Beauty Award that will be presented to a quilt that has beauty appealing to the heart or mind, as well as the eye.
C&T Publishing, producer of books and other items for quilting, paper crafting, and fiber arts, will sponsor the new $2,000 Future of Quilting Award to be presented to a quilter age 35 or under whose quilt exhibits admirable qualities of the craft and whose work shows promise for his/her future in quilting.
In addition, two existing categories have new sponsors. Prym-Dritz, manufacturer and distributor of sewing, quilting, and craft-related notions, will now sponsor the Innovative Pieced, Large category, which awards a total of $2,000 to first, second, and third place winners. Mama’s Log House Quilt Shop, a retail store and online source for quilting supplies, will take over sponsorship of the $500 Viewer’s Choice Award.
