Judi Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 O.K. in a different post I mentioned that the quilt that won the "Grand Champion" and "Best in Show" was not mine, but I DID do the quilting, so that felt great! I did enter 3 little projects, which all received blue little ribbons. So, thats good too, BUT, now when I just went to pick-up my stuff - low and behold - there is a big "Reserve Grand Champion" ribbon on one of MY quilts! YES! Here are the photos......hmm..... that was not there about 4 hours earlier. They said "they forgot to put them on...." Judging was Friday a.m. so all weekend it was hanging there..... naked! We have our meeting for the Guild this Thrusday, so I will take it with me! Oh, I will have my girls with me too, husband is leaving for Sturgis tomorrow. This quilt is for the oldest one, she picked out all of these fabrics from my stash. All puppies and cats, with mice background. Last year was the first time I ever entered any quilts in the fair, and again I had a Reserve Grand Champion for my Pansy Park quilt (which I did not quilt). Next year I plan on really WOW'ing them! It came much too fast this year....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judi Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I agree that the whole thing is way to busy, but thats what she wanted.... I think instead of the mouse fabric on the front, something more plain or solid would have been better. My eyes like a place to rest too..... This is the first time I quilted with the metalic thread from Superior and it worked great! I only had one spot where it broke and was being stubborn. Not sure if you can see the bobbin thread or not, I used a deep rose / pink color that shows up good. My computer systems is dying on me, so some- times my screen mixes up the colors!~:PHope that does not affect how you all see the photos, but I am not sure........ I quilted a spiral coming out of the center and just stopped when it came to the edge of a block. Using my Circle Lord from the back of the machine. I did those in bright blue, pink, orange and yellow. Lots of color on this one! This pattern is called Paperweight by Aardvark Quilts. We did this for a Saturday project through a LQS. It was really great seeing all the different fabrics and color combos people used. One lady was using that fabric that has all fruits and vegies, that was a busy one too! The designer is Pamela Goecke Dinndorf and she works for Grubers in MN here. She came and gave the class and instructions. It is a great way to spend the day!

PattyJo Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Really cute - Your daughter must love puppies & kittys. And the mice too. Great job and a ribbon to boot. You better get a great place to display the ribbons that are yet to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
