“People who don’t even know how to sew, don’t even know how to sew on a button. come in and love the quilts! So we really want to keep this craft alive,” said Beth Jarrell, a volunteer organizer.

Each category was judged for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. As well as honorable mentions. A ‘People’s Choice Award’ was also awarded after being voted on by the viewing public.
