QUILT TURNINGS OF ANTIQUE QUILTS with MERIKAY WALDVOGEL 
The always popular [antique] quilt turning sessions are returning again this year. At these special features of our show since their inception in 2008, Merikay Waldvogel surprises us with a group of antique quilts, many of which have never been shown publicly before.
Along with a team of quilt history colleagues (Becky Harriss, Cindy Stuart and Jan Wass), Merikay will date the quilts based on the quilts’ fabrics, patterns and styles. Expect to hear some good stories and learn something about dating old quilts. Visitors may bring quilts to show if time permits. Photos may be taken and questions/comments from the audience are encouraged. There is no additional charge for this event. Merikay Waldvogel is a nationally known quilt collector, researcher and writer. Her books include: Quilts of Tennessee, Soft Covers for Hard Times, Patchwork Souvenirs of the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, and Southern Quilts of the Civil War. In 2009, she was inducted into the Quilters Hall of Fame for her work as a quilt historian and author. She has been a member of Smoky Mountain Quilters of Tennessee since 1986.

the 2021 Recipient of the viewers' Choice award
|
Viewers selected HUNTER AYERS' quilt, "10,000 Feet," to receive the Viewer's Choice award for the 40th Anniversary Smoky Mountain Quilters Quilt Show and Competition. That's not all. Look closely. Hunter's quilt also took home the Judge's Choice award!
Hunter lives in Greenback, so he is a local. Quilting is in his family, and you can find him most days working at the quilt shop opened by his mom several years ago. Not a fan of handwork, he is most comfortable working at his machine creating beauties like this quilt. We are delighted to have entries from our male quilters. Ladies watch out! These guys are providing some stiff competition! |
