In case you missed Monday’s meeting, the awards are different this year. No more 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons. This year, IHQ started a new system where the number of top awards is based on the number of entries in each category. For example, the Dolls had four entries, so that category was awarded one ribbon. The Wall and Bed Quilts had many entries, so 19 ribbons were awarded among those categories. The voting was especially difficult – so many beautiful and clever pieces of art. Thank you to our dedicated ‘Viewers’.
Congratulations to the winners!
