Quilt Show Judge and Quilt Show Appraiser

Quilt Show Judge Patricia Harrison back for 2019 Harvest of Quilts XIII
Patricia Harrison is a National Association of Quilt Judges certified Master Quilt judge.  The National Association of Certified Quilt Judges is the recognized standard for well-prepared, knowledgeable quilt judges.  NACQJ Judge Certification is a rigorous, independent study program involving extensive research into all areas of quilt making from design through construction, "Hands on" experience working with certified judges in judging venues, and a final Certified Judge panel practicum examination.

Ms. Harrison has been a long-arm quilter since 1999 and a quilt maker since 1985.  She has undergraduate and graduate degrees from University of Rhode Island in Home Economics Education with Textile concentration.  She spent seventeen years as a Home Economics teacher of textiles, international foods, and consumer education to students from 2nd grade to adults in the Narragansett school system in Rhode Island.  She has created and presented lectures on numberous quilt subjects.

Ms. Harrison says you can't judge local quilt shows by national standards  "You've ot to look at where the group is.  You've got to find the cream of the crop, based on everything that's there."  She also believe in leaving constructive comments.

Ms. Harrison will be judging Raintree's quilts in the first week of September.
