Well, the rumor is true. This month's issue of McCall's Quilt Magazine has photographs of the twelve finalists in last year's McCall's Quilting Design Star Contest with their final quilts and a quotation from each person. It is an honor to be selected as one of the finalists and another honor to be in the magazine. I recommend that anyone who thinks they might be interested to grab the opportunity and do it. The rewards are many, and I don't mean the prizes.
But speaking of prizes, there is also a full page color ad for the contest, and it sounds as though they've upped the ante. They are talking about two grand prizes (that could be the Horn cabinet and the sewing machine or it could be two people winning), many prizes, and cash. It seems that so far the contest has been a success for them, and they are now able through the generosity of sponsors to make it worth more to participants. Another reason to seriously consider entering. It is nice to receive unexpected, mystery packages that contain quilty things one can actually use.
If any of you are thinking about it and would like to talk to me about it, I'm willing to chat and answer your questions. If can't manage to comment on this entry, ask any of the local quilt shops for help reaching me.
