The Mancuso Brothers have sent through the following notice:
The international entries are in and juried. This year’s World Quilt Competition international entries have surpassed our expectations with the number of entries exceeding last year’s count. In addition, we are excited to announce the participation for the first time of quilters from IRELAND. We think you will be delighted to see their efforts.
We are also thrilled that U.S. entries are up from 2009. The entry deadline for U.S. entries has passed; these entries are currently being juried. If you entered, jury results will be mailed by July 8, 2009.
All of this will make for a SPECTACULAR 2009 World Quilt Competition.

We are thrilled that this show is coming to Manchester, New Hampshire again this year. We reviewed the show an article in The Quilter magazine (published in May 2007), and had a great time seeing quilts from all over the world, and the level of expertise exhibited. It was fun to choose our favorite quilts and write descriptive analyses of why we liked them. This is a great show. Mark your calendars, now!
