Quilting Heidi Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Putting two of your most favorite quilts in a box to MQX!!!! My quilts are off. It is very stressful to send them on their way. They should be there by Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda G. Craig Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Good Luck, Heidi! I've been thinking of you and wondering how things have been going with your quilt. I too hope to see pictures real soon. Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennan100 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Good luck in the show, Heidi, and let us know how it goes! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAboutQuilting Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Good luck Heidi! :) I can't wait to see pictures of those beauties......with their ribbons! But I can totally understand your fear.............it wouldn't have been so bad if you could have delivered them yourself.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Awww no worries! Your quilts will be just fine. Remember now, many many huge big time award winning quilts live most of their lives traveling in a box around the world going to various shows and I think it is on the extreme rare chance that anything is ever lost. Plus multi million gazillion bazillion dollars worth of stuff is shipped around the world daily and about 99.999999999999% of the time all is just fine. It's OK.

DoryJM Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 You're gonna win!! You're gonna win!! she sings in a whiny/bratty kids voice:D:P:D Heck, you've already won; your creations are going to hang for the world to see!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Yikes!! I was talking to Claudia a couple of weeks ago....she has to ship her quilt to MQS - I think this is a first, usually she hand delivers....not this time. I just can't imagine what it would feel like to watch some stranger walk away with my quilt...or quilts... Good luck at the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks for the support girls! Yes Shana you are right but it is still scary! I have a tracking number so I'll be watching!!!! Win or no win it will be neat to have it hung. Time will tell. Only 3 weeks away now! I can hardly wait. I really need the break.

IBQLTN2 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 So excited for you, I can relate to your being nervous about shipping all your hard work off with strangers, but just breath and believe all will be FINE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Heidi I am so proud of you. Your quilts are absolutely beautiful (I've seen them in person and they are stunning). You try your best. You do your best. You put your quilts in the shows. And oh so exciting...yes, there is a chance it could win a ribbon! But, I think most importatnly is the attitude about the entire thing, the event, the entire process! Only so many people can get 1st place (last time I checked only one person can win a 1st) so not about winning a ribbon, it's all about this: That you did it, that you did your best, that you put it in a box, that you are hanging it in a show where all of your peers will see it and appreciate it. And it is very exciting to know the possibility that You might win a ribbon (and I hope you do!!!) but ya know...it's not about winning a ribbon...it's about participating. It's all good. If you win a ribbon that's even more icing on the cake. If you don't win a ribbon, it's still gorgeous; it's still a "winner" and your best work and you should always be proud of that. I am so proud of everyone who partiicpates in these shows. That is what it's all about. It's all good. Love you girl!!! Keep up the great work. Shana PS: I read some magazine interview a while back about a quilt artist that said that quilt shows challenge us; give us deadlines to meet. She said if she didn't have these challenges and shows and deadlines, she would never get anything finished; never get anything entered. That's the attitude!

jmcclannan Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Heidi, I admire your quilting so much. We all know you are a blue ribbon quilter, but we'll look forward to seeing your entries where everyone can appreciate you creativity and skill.

LauraJ Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Good luck Heidi. Your quilting is wonderful and I'm bummed that I had to change plans and not be able to go to MQX. Would love to see your quilting "live and up close". Can't wait to see pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie UK Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Can't wait to see them Heidi & with ribbons! Getting sooooooooo excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWBowser Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Those quilts are beautiful. I know putting them in a box and letting them go is really hard. I am glad we will be picking them up after the show. One stressful event is enough but they are definitely ribbon worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne from Guam Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Good luck Heidi!! I think that there should be the 'armored truck' delivery option offered somewhere. :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbi Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Heidi! Fingers crossed!! Im sure they will arrive safely and will be wearing "blue" when you see them next! I also would hope for a purple ribbon too (if that 's the color of the "best of show") (((((((((((((((((((((HUGS!))))))))))))))))))))) and lots of love! -b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsbishwit Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Heidi, No worries, it will get there safe and sound and I will keep my fingers crossed that you win something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisalnewman Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Heidi, I just know they will arrive safe and sound!! And the best part of it all is that I get to see them in person!!!!!! Too exciting!!!! I have been admiring your work from the time I began on this forum so it is really fantastic that I will get to see your work up close and in 3D. Your nerves will settle down as soon as your tracking number confirmes that the quilts arrived safe and sound then you will be able to enjoy the trip to MQX yourself. Can't wait to finally get to meet you! Take care, Lisa:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
