GrandmaLKB Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 It's like the person who made the quilt is taking credit for ALL of it. That stinks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyLake Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Congratulations, Myrna! You did do a fantastic job with quilting that piece. Do you still have the photo you posted a while back that shows the quilting? It would be fun to see it again. I can't believe there are still quilters in the world whom it doesn't occur to, to give credit to the quilter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 That stinks! I will be the Lancaster show on Friday. I'll look for it and tell everyone around me that you quilted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReisingStarQuilts Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Congrats Myrna, That is sooo unfair that you get no credit. You MADE the quilt!! What will it take to make this fair??? Let's all sign a petition and send it to all the shows to make sure the quilter is recognized.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Congratulations Myrna. I saw the quilt and thought, "hey, wait a minute! Didn't Myrna quilt that?" You'd think the AQS would have a little more respect for longarm quilters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birgitquilts Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Originally posted by Linda S You'd think the AQS would have a little more respect for longarm quilters. Especially in a category that has "Longarm/Midarm quilted" in the category name... Congratulations to Myrna, I hope to see this quilt up close and in perosn one day!

Janette Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Congratulations for 3rd place, and such a shame that the organisers have not credited your name to the piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norma H Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 As an AQS member, I asked and received the following info: You are correct that many quilts that are entered into contests have been quilted by someone other than the contestant. I can’t speak for how other shows work, but at AQS we list the quilt under the name of the contestant, who must be a maker of that quilt. The person who enters the contest determines whether they will be the only contestant, or whether they will list others who worked on the quilt (in any capacity) as a co-contestant(s). Many people do list a quilter as a co-contestant, some do not. Paid quilters, along with anyone else who stitched on the quilt, are given credit in the quilt description that is printed for each quilt in the show book. The description in the show book is also where design sources are credited. Professional longarm quilters have different agreements with their customers about how they will be credited and whether they will be included as co-contestants. These agreements are between the quilters and their clients and AQS does not get involved in these matters – we must depend on the contestants to provide accurate and complete information about their quilt, the names of everyone who contributed to its making, and the sources of any designs or images used.

LibbyG Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Myrna, I remember when you showed us that quilt. It's simply stunning and I'm sure the reason she won was because of your quilting. Now I'm curious to see if you were mentioned in the book. I'll know on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
