ANNOUNCING THE “A CELEBRATION OF COLOR” 2022 WINNERS!
| Judged show offered cash prizes! HOUSTON—June 28, 2022—International Quilt Festival today announced the winners for the judged show that’s all about hues and shades, “A Celebration of Color.” This annual judged competition is open to quilters working in any style who like to play with color to create a vibrant work. A $1,000 Best of Show Award and three $500 prizes each in Traditional, Modern, and Art categories were awarded. Quilts are hand or machine, appliquéd, pieced, or wholecloth. The prize money was sponsored by eQuilter.com “Color is a language that speaks to us without words. As artists and makers we communicate so much with color. The things that bring us the most pleasure in Nature are because of color—pink cherry blossoms, red maple leaves, the Golden Hour, blue skies, purple shadows, the fresh greens of springtime, and clear turquoise waters,” says eQuilter.com President and Co-Founder, Luana Rubin. International Quilt Festival Founder and Director Emeritus Karey Bresenhan adds “This is hands down one of my favorites of all our exhibits, because I adore the creative and inventive use of color in quilts. And our attendees at the upcoming Festivals will have the opportunity to see not only the top four winners, but all of the finalists.” The Salt Lake City Quilt Festival is July 21-23 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Long Beach Quilt Festival is August 4-6 (with classes beginning on August 3) at the Long Beach Entertainment & Convention Center in Long Beach, California.
