| Our three judges drove in from Lincoln and Grand Island and spent all of Thursday with white gloves and a magnifying glass. They judged 118 quilts in nine categories (the antiques hang for show only). Blue is first, red is second, white is third. Congratulations to everyone who entered. It takes nerve to hang your work up and let strangers look at the back! |
