2. Quilt
   Quilts must have a 4-6" wide sleeve attached to the back as well as a cloth label sewn to the back of the quilt with the name, address, name of the quilt and phone number of the person entering the quilt. Then please cover your label with a piece of muslin basted over your name and address.
3. Quilts -- Women
   The first quilts emerged in ancient Egypt, and the decorative art form traveled to Asia and later to Europe during the Crusades (c. 1100–1300). By 1300, quilting had spread to Italy, where women sewed bed quilts, and from there a long tradition of quilt making developed throughout Europe. Female European immigrants brought their quilting skills to the United States where the art form flourished during the colonial era. American women often created patchwork quilts made from scraps of fabric. Women ... participated in quilting bees in which they worked together in groups to sew quilts.
4. Quilts -- Quilters
   Quilts made by Mary Lee Bendolph, a member of the collective, were featured in an AT&T broadband marketing campaign that was introduced last summer and included television, direct mail and Internet ads. As part of that campaign, AT&T ... sponsored a three-city Gee's Bend Quilters tour to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, featuring appearances by several quilters.
5. Quilts -- Art

7. The Playmates -- Month Quilt
   Marriage, of course, was another thing the Playmates had in mind, and several of them landed rock musicians or professional athletes. Anna Nicole Smith bagged an eighty-nine-year-old oil billionaire, J. Howard Marshall, and after his death, the following year, became entangled in a long series of lawsuits with his family over the estate—a joy to the tabloids. The case finally went to the Supreme Court earlier this month. For her appearance, Smith wore a little black dress and a big silver cross. The court’s decision will be rendered by the end of June.
8. The Front Range -- Range Contemporary Quilters
