Sherry Massey began quilting in 1980.  Countless quilts later, she is honored to have been Oklahoma’s first NACQJ Certified Judge.  She is a member of the Edmond Quilt Guild and has served as the Edmond Quilt Festival chairman and most recently as judging coordinator, a job that is both educational and rewarding.  She’s had quilts juried into the Paducah Fall show and the Houston International Quilt Show.  She is also a proud member of a small group that makes quilts for Boys’ Ranch Town, a working ranch that provides a home for boys separated from their families.

As a certified quilt judge, Sherry’s aim for each show is to utilize her experience and training to provide objective, encouraging, and constructive critiques of all quilts submitted.  One of her primary goals is to recognize creativity and skill and offer unbiased advice on future design choices where applicable.  She participates in judging with passion and enthusiasm and herp hilosophy is to uphold NACQJ standards and ethics, continue her personal and professional education, and participate in positive advancement of our craft.
