Awards for Splendor in the Desert 2023
The quilts in our upcoming quilt show will not be judged this year; however, that doesn’t mean we won’t be awarding ribbons.
Voting for Quilts
On Friday, March 17th only, all attendees at the show will be given a ballot to vote for two categories: Best in Show and Best Use of Color. At the close of the show on Friday, the votes will be tabulated and ribbons awarded to the top ten quilts with the highest number of votes.
Ribbons will be awarded as follows:
Even if you don’t receive a ribbon for your quilt, you’re ALL winners because you entered a quilt(s). Good Luck!
Thank you again, Katie Templeton for your hard work crafting the fantastic ribbons!
