Sue E. Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 The quilt I entered into the MQX competition returned home yesterday. When I opened the box I got a really big surprise. I had received an e-mail telling me I had a Teacher's Award ribbon on the quilt but the e-mail didn't tell me who gave me the ribbon. When I opened the box, there were two Teacher's Award ribbons. One ribbon was from DeLoa Jones and the other from Page Johnson. These ribbons mean as much to me as if I had won a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or Honorary Mention award. Thank you both DeLoa and Page. I am so excited. The quilt that I entered is the Black and White and Shades of Gray quilt which won ribbons at the Arizona Long Arm Quilters Association President's Challenge in November. I also entered this quilt into the Arizona Quilters Guild show in March and won a 2nd place in its category. This has been a great year for me.

pfrost Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Stunning quilt, Sue. Congratulations on all the awards; the quilt was very deserving of them. What kind of thread was used on this quilt? I just checked the close-ups of it on your webshots; I couldn't tell if it was a variegated thread or a metallic. The jewels added a lot of extra sparkle, too--nice touch. All in all, a beautiful job & nicely executed. Pat AZ:cool: Mille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltaholi_518 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I got one myself last year and it was a thrill! Teachers can be a pretty picky bunch and won't hang their ribbon on just anything, so it must have really rocked!! Congrats!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Beautiful job on the quilting. Well deserving of the Teacher's awards...and 2 to boot. WOW. COngratulations are definitely in order. Job well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue E. Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks everyone. Here is the link to the original post I made in November. There are several pictures of the quilt and a description of what I did. http://www.apqs.com/quiltboard/viewthread.php?tid=13759&page=1#pid141700 The thread I used was Rainbows Zebra and a So Fine Gray. I used a pre-wound black in the bobbin. All the quilting is done with the CompuQuilter with designs I purchased from both Digi-Tech (Jessica Schick) and Trillium House (Darlene Epp). At my request for a special design for the outer border, Jessica took an element from the design used in the log cabin and made it into a repeatable border design for me. It worked perfectly. Darlene did the same for me to create a corner for the small wavy line (serpentine) in the inner border. I don't have any pictures of the quilt with these two new ribbons but I do have a picture in my webshots album (AZLAQ 2008 Pres Challenge). It is the last picture. I'm standing next to the quilt. I am hoping to get my husband to hang this quilt for me this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks, Sue, for explaining about your threads. I must've missed the earlier post on this quilt. The photo of you with your quilt is new; it wasn't there earlier this morning. Big grin on a lovely lady for a well-deserved award! Yay! Again, congratulations!
