Superior Quilt Show 2013 Winners
Best of Show Award Winners
“One comment that was often heard at the door as visitors left the show was, “I’m going to return my ballot. I don’t know how to pick the best quilt out of so many amazing quilts.” So while there were many empty ballots (a true testament to the many talented members of the Thunder Bay Quilters’ Guild), listed below are the results from the voting for “Best of Show” by category. Congratulations to all!” Jennifer Marks, Quilt Show Chair.
