In 2002 she completed the course on Judging Quilts and Wearable Arts sponsored by the Northern California Quilt Council and in 2006 completed the program requirements and is now designated a National Quilting Association Certified Judge. Currently serving on the Board of Directors of the Association of Pacific Northwest Quilters she is the Judging Coordinator for the 2008 Quiltfest in Seattle. In 2002 Elizabeth judged her first quilt show and has since judged 24 quilt and wearable art competitions throughout the US and Canada. She feels her experience as a competition quiltmaker and an international quilt instructor have helped her to stay up to date with new methods and techniques of contemporary quilt artists. While evaluating a quilt her objective is to encourage quilters to improve and expand their artistry, creativity, and expertise in their preferred medium. Elizabeth entered her first national show in 2000. Her quilts have won awards at AQS Quilt Exposition, Pacific Northwest Quiltfest, International Quilt Festival, Quilter’s Heritage Celebration, Machine Quilter’s Exposition, Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival, the National Quilting Association Show, Pacific International, and Road to California. When not on the road teaching or judging SW Washington is the place Elizabeth calls home, where her husband and four cats carefully maneuver their way through fabric, thread, and pins!   Kathie R.
