Williamson Family Memorial Award

Williamson Family Memorial Award Patricia Williamson and Carol Bennett created the award in memory of their parents Keith and Ethel Williamson. The criterion for the award was "innovation in the contemporary interpretation of traditional quilt designs and techniques." Jurors were asked to make recommendations for the award and the family made the final selection. Flag Waving On The Home Front, created by Sue Pierce of Rockville, Maryland, is the recipient of this inaugural award. According to Patricia Williamson, "Flag Waving On The Home Front has a quiet force and the viewer responds to it on many levels. When seen by members of our family, this work evoked fond reminiscences of our parents and grandparents."
