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 2019 Recipient of the viewers' Choice award
|
Andrew Lee stands in front of his quilt, "Shock and Awe," after receiving the Viewer's Choice award near the close of the 39th Annual Smoky Mountain Quilters Quilt Show and Competition, August 3, 2019. Andrew's quilt is made of 12,000 1-inch squares depicting the World War II image of U.S. Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima.
Andrew, a U.S. Army Veteran and current member of the National Guard, served two tours of duty in Iraq. He relies upon quilting to soften the effects of PTSD and to spend more time with his wife when he isn't on the road as a truck driver. However, much of this 110" x 110" quilt was stitched in the truck he has equipped with a sewing machine and mini studio. He finds quilting relaxing and uses this activity to wind down after long hours on the road. When he is not creating his own quilts, Andrew can be found making Quilts of Valor to present to other veterans. He also has his own business doing long arm quilting. It is rumored that he is already planning another quilt much like "Shock and Awe," and it will be even larger. We are proud to have Andrew as a fellow member of Smoky Mountain Quilters of Tennessee. |
