sdaurio Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I entered my first local quilt show and got my first blue ribbon so very exciting. Some asked me if I was a professional quilter,and really I want to be in the near future, but what are the qualifications for professional quilter....I'll have to think about that. But while I"m thinking here's the huge mammoth of a quilt that was entered. Me and April (my Millie) quilted her. This is a kings size (117 x 117) quilt, hobbs 80/20 on the bottom, hobbs wool on top. That's one warm cozy quilt on a chilly night. Some ruler work, some free hand feathers and a whole lot of fun. Still can believe I got a blue ribbon. Here's a couple of pics, simple log cabin made out of shot cottons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCS Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Sue your quilt is beautiful. But I have a confession I thought you was a professional quilter already. You post on another site I read at times and I have seen some of your beautiful quilts, one that you called Black Sea was gorgeous. I went back several times to look at it. Thanks for the pictures.

Cagey Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Sue: I think you quilting truly looks professional. Webster defines professional as; " relating to a job that requires special education, training, or skill". I think your skill set makes you a professional. Though if you if you want to be a "real" pro-quilter, I think you only need to take in someone else's quilt, and get paid to quilt it. Webster adds to the definition of professional; "paid to participate in a sport or activity". While I do not believe that doing this will make you any better of a quilter, but it will make you a paid professional. Thank you for sharing, and motivating all of us to participate in our next local quilt show. I for one think I will have to take my time and truly piece a nice quilt, and then do my very best quilting job. I will just have to find someone in my guild to help hand bind the quilt, as I think that is the most painful and difficult task in the whole process. That is one task that I cannot find a bit of pleasure in. Congratulations on your first blue ribbon. I am sure there will be more to follow if enter another show.
