“I am SO nervous”

“I have never done anything like this before”

“I feel so exposed!”


 

 

Don’t be scared, it is only a quilt show, or in this case an exhibit when is comes the BadAss Quilter Exhibit  during AQS Quilt Week in Chattanooga TN.

The truth is that is takes quilts to have a quilt show and shows and exhibits NEED your quilts! If you enjoy going to quilt shows and seeing quilts your owe it to the quilt world to get your work out there as well, you never know who it will inspire!

So while being judged, critiqued and totally raked over the coals by a team of quilt experts might not be your cup of tea there  are other ways to enjoy the quilt showing experience without the tension that comes with competition.

The truth of the matter is that some people are not into playing the comparing game.

Some just want to share their quilt art with the wider world for the enjoyment and enrichment of the experience.  For these people  exhibits and non-judged categories in quilt shows are  the way to go. Most quilt shows will also let you opt out of judging so just check that little box if you don’t want to be part of that.


 

The BAQS event which is part of the AQS Quilt Week in Chattanooga is a juried exhibit which mean while it is an honor to be chosen, quilts will not compete with each other due the great diversity of quilts we hope to show from our amazing member base.

The jurying part assures that we have a wide selection of BadAss techniques to show off to all the excited quilt show guests.

 

So?.. you ready?.. I want to see your BadAss Quilts!
