Wednesday and Thursday were busy days at the Auckland Festival of Quilts for me and my co-judges, Penny Jameson of Stitch and Anna Williams. Between us, we viewed over 260 quilts and multi-media works and completed an evaluation form for each one. We then joined forces to select the special awards and Best of Show. I don’t have the name of the quiltmaker of Best of Show Matilda but I can tell you it that it is a splendid white and soft blue lace confection with exquisite, intricate machine quilting. I will try and get more details tomorrow. In the meantime, here is a photo of my Judge’s Choice – In the Mughal’s Midnight Garden by Hazel Foot. (Published with permission.)
