World Quilt Competition 2013

The World Quilt Competition 2013 form is now available on my website for Australians wishing to enter. I would encourage everyone interested in having their work seen by a wider International audience [4 different USA venues] to enter. If we have 10 Australian entries we have a Best of Country award as well as being eligible for the other prizes. All quilts receive a critique. Please contact me if you have any questions.
And if you and your friends would like to see the World Quilt Show New England XI, the first Australian tour to visit and be part of the event will be in August 2013. I'm on board as your 'quilt guide'. We will also visit New York, a city I love, other historic sites on the Eastern seaboard as well as shop til we drop! Hope you can join me!

Looking at the World through Quilts

World Quilt Show – New England XI
Manchester, New Hampshire – August 15-18, 2013

 Walking into the World Quilt Show – New England, one is almost overwhelmed by the spectacular display of magnificent quilts from around the world on exhibit. Standing out among all the quilts on display are the quilts competing in the World Quilt Competition, an always beautiful collection that makes awarding “Best of Show a very difficult task for the judges. The 2013 competition will be no different!  

The premier of the World Quilt Competition XVII will be at the World Quilt Show - New England XI, returning to the Radisson Center of New Hampshire in Manchester, August 15 – 18, 2013 where the competition will be judged. From New Hampshire, the international entries and selected winning U.S. entries will tour to three more Mancuso Show Management quilt festivals across the U.S. Be sure to take an opportunity to view this international collection of beautiful and culturally unique creativity and talent.

Now in its seventeenth year, this international quilt competition draws entries from across the globe. The 2013 World Quilt Competition will feature quilts from Australia, Canada, Germany, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States competing for over $10,000 in prize money. Best of Country from among the entries for each nation will be chosen as well as the prestigious Best of World Award winner.
