This is a first for me. I was asked to be one of the judges for the African American Quilters of Los Angeles Quilt Show which is to take place Saturday, November 10Th at the Carson Community Center. There were some pretty amazing quilts. It was a totally new experience to judge. Looking for crisp points, straight lines, even stitching and god forbid puckering. Drawing on all the help my little left brain could muster I took the challenge and tried to be fair. Then we got to make our choice for the quilt we like the most (Judges Choice). This time I allowed my right brain take over, choosing instead the quilt that I would want to take home. The quilt that was technically the best was not the one that I wanted. It called to me, spoke my name, whispered sweetly "I am Special".
I think the quilt show is the same weekend as the Stamp Convention at the same location. I sure hope so. I'm ready for a little power shopping.

Love the new banner. Good luck at the show.
Good show on judging for the quilt show. I expect none of the members had previously seen you in your sushi costume then.... :-)
What will you be this year?
"Here come da quilt judge" in black robes and a long powdered wig?
Tag, you're it.
