Frances, a professor and the director of the Art School at the CUT is currently doing a course to become a quilt judge. This is a tedious process stretching over 2 years with 4 existing judges as tutors each giving her 6 assignments to complete. These covered every single aspect of every quilt technique. She will complete this course with a practical judge exam at the Stellenbosch National Festival in July 2011.
I gave my questionnaire to Frances to complete. Hopefully this way we’ll get to know each other.
