cherylsterling Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 This is the first portrait quilt that I have done on the long arm. I didn't show it earlier because the contest rules stated that we couldn't but we were given the okay by the contest host to show pictures of our quilts online. I made this piece for the Indelible Spirit competition and it illustrates the frustration I felt when I was suffering from depression: Depressed state 24 x 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherylsterling Posted August 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Originally posted by Linda S Are you sending this to Innovations, by any chance? Linda I was reading info about Innovations and I guess I am not really clear on how entry into the show works. The way it reads is you send a photo, entry fee, and return shipping and then they will send you instructions on mailing in your quilt. So is there no jury process? How can they possibly have enough room to show everyones quilt? I would love to participate but I am a little confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybee Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Cheryl Have you tried calling them? I got a brochure in mail but can not find it right now, if you go online and check the website, it should have a # to call. Great inspiration to all of us. Good luck to you.

cherylsterling Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I was playing around with my site last night and apparently hit the button of DOOM and crashed my site for a few hours. It's up and running now so take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
