The winners of the 2010 Golden Quilter Awards will always be recognized for their contributions to our wonderful world of quilting. They were voted as being the best of the best in nine categories, of the 2010 Golden Quilter Awards, by quilters throughout the world. This post is the last post on SewCalGal that will recognize these winners. Tomorrow (March lst) SewCalGal will start accepting nominations for the 2011 Golden Quilter Awards. But thru March, these winners deserve recognition as winners of the 2010 Golden Quilter Awards.
1) For the category of Best Designer, the winner is:
Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs
2) For the Category of Best Teacher/Instructor:
Bonnie K. Hunter
3) For the Category of Best Author:
Eleanor Burns, of Quilt In A Day
4) For the Category of Best Quilt Store (Physical):
There was a tie for the winner of this category, with one coming from sunny Southern California, and the other one coming from an area of British Columbia, which I believe is also known as a sunbelt of B.C.
Rosie's Calico Cupboard, San Diego, CA
Satin Moon, Victoria, BC
5) For the category of Best Quilt Store (online):
Fat Quarter Shop
6) For the category of Best Long Arm Quilter:
Judy Madsen, Green Fairy Quilts, Saint George, Utah
7) For the category of Most Innovative new product (physical item):
AccuQuilt
8) For the category of Most Innovated new product (software item):
Electric Quilt - EQ6
9) For the category of Most influential person in the world of quilting to-date, aka "Lifetime Achievement":
While there were many talented people that were nominated to this category, the majority of the comments submitted with many nominations clearly reflected heartfelt feelings for someone who has brought so many people into the world of quilting, taught, lectured, runs a successful business, and continually inspires and assistance to others. Without question of my ability to tally votes, the winner of this category is:
Eleanor Burns, of Quilt In A Day
