BERNINA Quilt Guild Winners 2024
The BERNINA Best of Show Award is a prestigious award for each state quilters’ Guild annual exhibition. All categories of quilts have the chance to win the overall BERNINA Best of Show as nominated by the judges. A BERNINA sewing machine and rosette proclaiming the entry to be the BERNINA Best of Show for that state is awarded. All BERNINA Best of Show winning quilts are then judged at AQC and the overall winner is awarded the BERNINA National Best of Australia Award. However, if the BERNINA Best of Show winner is not a resident of that particular guild’s state, a BERNINA Best of State winner is chosen by the judges to be that state’s entry for the BERNINA National Best of Australia Quilt Award for that year.
Additionally, each state also awards the Amateur Encouragement Award and the Junior Award. These awards recognize and encourage the talents of amateur and junior quilters, respectively, celebrating their contributions and fostering the next generation of quilting excellence.
