How many ribbons is this now? 3? Originally posted by Mary Beth Kenna I'm not counting since I don't really have any in my posession. This most certainly counts, regardless of who has possession of that ribbon! I am so happy for you, MB and you really knocked it out of the park with your quilting choices. I'll bet your customer is thrilled to the max! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingjunky Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 what is the pattern name. Which book did it come from? It is very cool. I am going to do a feathered star and maybe I will like it and get motivated to do more??? You just never know> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfrost Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 It's one gorgeous quilt and I loved the quilting applications you selected and stitched onto it. Congratulations on the exciting news! Thanks for sharing. Pat AZ:cool: Mille Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraJ Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 The quilt is awesome and your quilting makes it gorgeous.

dancingstitcher Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Congratulations Mary Beth. The fan with the piano keys in the outside border is really clever and shows up really well. In Arizona the longarm quilter is listed together with the piecer and a ribbon is give to each. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyAboutQuilting Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Congratulations Mary Beth! What a beauty! I really think that two ribbons should be given out in the shows, one for the piecer and one for the quilter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Okay, the border idea was not my own. It was actually part of the pattern in the book. I just made a stencil for the fan and chalked and stitched. Someone asked for the book/name of pattern....I think I have the flu....so much for the shot...I had the shot (for the first time) and had flu-like symptoms...today my hair hurts, my fingers hurt...my skin hurts. Sooo, when I am feeling better I will make it to the basement to get the book and let you know the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinneaMarie Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 WOWZER!!! I musta missed that before! It is a jaw dropper! Your quilting is perfect! Not to mention over the top gorgeous!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Mary Beth - I hope you (and your hair ) are feeling better soon..... I would also like to know the name of this pattern & book.... so I will check back later. Drink plenty of fluids and get lots of rest!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 MB sorry about your flu. I get the flu shot every year and it is a "educated guess" if this will help but I get the shot for free at work so I get it. Anyway whenever I get the flu shot I always feel a little yukky that day afterwards, but then I am OK. PS: Please take credit and accept these compliments above from everyone. Just because you "borrowed" a design that came from a book that doesn't matter, you still quilted it. Be super proud. We all are. you deserve the recognition. Feel better....

Mary Beth Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Thank you all for the compliments!!! Today I feel a bit better, only I think I may have bronchitis...I always get it when I have something upper respritory. My skin and hair only hurts a little today I will try to get downstairs today to get the book and pattern name. Thank you for the well wishes. By the way...the flu shot was in November, my first. I went into it so possitive, just knowing I would be fine. On Friday morning I woke up at 3:30 am sssiiiiccckkk. I think DH is ready to trade me in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Ugh....my skin and hair does still hurt.... The book is "Great American Quilts 1996" by Oxmoor House. The quilt is actually featured on the front cover of the book. Mine is hard cover, my customer's was paperback. Here is the Amazon link http://www.amazon.com/Great-American-Quilts-1996/dp/0848714504/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267974447&sr=1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
