Quilting Heidi Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I received my quilts back today from MQS which was really fast, however I was really sad to realize that two of my ribbons are missing. My teacher award from Irena Bluhm and my piecing award on my Super Stars Quilt. I've contacted Irena and she says that they had already contacted her to see who she awarded it to. Hopefully it is in the mail. On a good note I was very pleased with the remarks on my judging sheets. I've learned where I need to improve and what the judges liked. That was the whole purpose to entering. Hopefully my ribbons will turn up quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 O Heidi, I do hope those ribbons catch up with you real soon. You must be so tickled to receive the ribbons for your work. And especially lovely to receive one from Irena, very special. My daughter is a figure skater and, of course, when she was tested at different levels she would be critiqued. She loved it, always something to work on. Although what one judge wants developed, another judge likes just fine. Very subjective. Wonderful though to take the comments and use them to further yourself. When you receive those ribbons, I'd love to see some pictures. Awesome work! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyce, I did receive the ribbon from Linda but Irena's was missing. The other quilt had a piecing award and 3rd place. The piecing ribbon was missing.

You have the right attitude about the quilt shows, why you enter and the benefit of entering. So proud of you!!! Now, with that said, I will venture to bet that there was an honest mistake and that your ribbons were meant to be with the quilt but somehow got misplaced. So go with that attitude and feel assured that your ribbons will eventually show up to you, and if not, they can get replacements made. Just talk to MQS about it. They will make good. Hang in there girl and stay off that foot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shar Schmutz Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Heidi, congratulations on the ribbons!! Even if they aren't in your possession at the moment, I know you are very deserving. I didn't attend the show but would certainly like to see your quilts sometime in person, at the rate you are going you could do a one woman show soon! Like eveyone else I hope the foot is healing fast. My daughter had both feet done while in high school and at the same time, She had to start her Sophmore year in those funky flat shoes, good thing she was always confident in herself!

Merryjo2003 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I'm glad you got your quilts back without incident, but how disappointing to not get the ribbons back with the quilts. They are well deserved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Ouch, that's disapointing. On the bright side ribbons get crushed when they are with quilts so maybe they will arrive all the happier for shipping separately. Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Heidi, when Claudia picked up her quilt it also had 2 teacher ribbons, one from Judy Woodwoth, and one from Linda Taylor. We stopped to talk to Jackie Latham before we left and Claudia unfolded the quilt. There was only one ribbon, the one from Linda Taylor was not there. Someone went back in and came back with the ribbon. I don't know how it came off the quilt, but they mentioned that they wished there was a place on the ribbon to write the quilt name or number so that they knew who they belong to when they came off. So this must happen from time to time. Sorry you didn't get it, but someone probably has it and if you are in contact with the powers that be, you will proababy get it back. Congratulations on your awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Congratulations, Heidi. I'm sure your ribbons will be sent asap. What an honor! Your work is always beautiful and spectacular, so you certainly deserve those ribbons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I would think they could staple the owners name, quilt and award, if not evident, onto the cardboard and ribbon flaps behind the ribbon, to be quickly and easily read and placed with the right quilt. Oh they could tape it on, no staples rusting to get on the quilt. a Recipe card from the Dollar Tree would do nicely, could be cut in half to make it more economical. I'd not use a post-it as the self stick side gets too much lint on it and it won't stick after a move or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Thanks everybody. It is a true honor to get a ribbon. I love what I do and I'm glad others love it too! Rita - yes you would think there would be a better way. They actually have a card with each quilt that they could pin the ribbons too so they didn't get lost. I sent an email but still haven't gotten a response. Hopefully they are already in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
