2020 quilt show judge - Beverly Fine
|
I became a National Quilting Association Certified Judge in 2003 and served as the NQA Judges Certification Program Coordinator from 2008-2012 and again from 2015-2016. I co-authored the book Guide to Judged Quilt Shows, available through Amazon. I served as the Masterpiece Quilt Coordinator for the National Association of Certified Quilt Judges (www.NACQJ.com) from 2015-2017 with the mandate to recognize the very highest quality of work being done among today's quiltmakers. Upon learning that the NQA planned to dissolve as of December 31, 2015, I became a member of the four-person transition team to set-up and organize the new National Association of Certified Quilt Judges.
Becoming a judge was a natural extension of my geeky tendency to research and study. I feel strongly that a judge ought to have done most every technique that comes across her judging table. My judging philosophy is to recognize creativity and the appropriate skills to bring it to life. I hope to encourage all quiltmakers and guide them toward the best possible choices to develop their ideas. |
