Member of National Association of Certified Quilt Judges
Awarding Excellence
NACQJ Award of Merit
I participate in awarding the NACQJ ribbon as my way to encourage all quilters and to also acknowledge outstanding efforts. The award is not meant to compete with the Best of Show or other specialty awards a guild may award. The NACQJ award is given to a quilt of a Judge's choosing that demonstrates "Outstanding Achievement in Quiltmaking".
It is a successful way to recognize and reward fine quilts, some of which would not have otherwise received a ribbon. Winning quiltmakers are invited to submit photos of their quilts for possible posting on the NACQJ website.
All NACQJ Certified Judges have the option to award this special ribbon to a deserving quilt in any show he/she judges, with prior approval of the show sponsor or judging chair. There is no cost or obligation to the show sponsors.
