Introducing Our Judge, Nancy Fuka
Nancy started sewing when she was a small child and has been quilting since about 1982. After taking that first quilting class, she just couldn’t stop taking more and more classes and making more and more quilts and quilt tops. Nancy says she can’t pick a favorite quilt technique or quilting specialty because she loves them all! She is proud to be an NACQJ Certified Quilt Judge and approved instructor for the Introduction to Quilt Judging Seminar. She has judged local, regional, and international quilt shows. She also teaches and lectures on various quilting topics. She says that any day judging, quilting, or even just talking about quilts is “The Best Day Ever!” After quilting for over 40 years, Nancy has accumulated a giant pile of scraps that she has named Mt. Scrapmore. Coincidentally, several years ago she embraced the art of scrap quilting, though it has yet to significantly decrease the size of Mt. Scrapmore. She currently resides in New Mexico just outside of Santa Fe with her husband of 47 years and one very fluffy dog.
