quiltmonkey Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 What can I say about this award winning quilt? It is simply breathtaking. Stunning and amazing design. I tried very hard not to drool on your quilt. Wowwwweeee wow! Claudia and Marilyn: Would you adopt me so I can live with you and learn from the masters? Possibly some of your talent will rub off on me? Again, wow. Greensleeves is a beauty to behold. I think I gained 20 pounds looking at this scrumptious eye candy. Thank you for creating such beauty. It\'s a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowquilter Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Dear Shana, You can come to Minnesota and stay with me anytime you want. I\'m sorry we\'ve never met, but I read your postings and they are always so upbeat and funny. I\'m glad you like Greensleeves. MQS was its maiden voyage and neither Marilyn nor I were there to see it, so I\'m glad it had some appreciative viewers. It sounds like all you "chatters" had a wonderful time. Love the pictures of everybody. Maybe next year.... Let me know when you\'re coming... ;-] Claudia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thanks, Claudia! You are such a dear. Actually, I did meet you once at Houston in 2006 when you were sitting with George and quilting some pretty flowers and leaves. I sat and chatted with you for about 10 minutes..maybe longer. I wish I could have stayed with you & George for much longer. Perhaps next time. Anyway, I am super bummed right now because my camera battery died (ran out of juice) just as I was snapping photos of Greensleeves at MQS, so unfortunatley, I did not get any pictures of it. Waaah! So, if anybody out there has some nice shots (far and close,,,especially the close-ups that show Marilyn\'s amazing quilting motifs in the gold thread) I would be eternally grateful to you. I do have some nice pics of Marilyn\'s quilt she entered under "Tools of the Trade" and it is awesome, too, but I just wish I had some of Greensleeves. It is my favorite. Thank you!

quiltermidwife Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Claudia I loved Greensleeves and spent some time studying all the intricate stitcing. What a masterpiece. I had the great privilege of spending time with Marilyn at the Houston show last year. What a lovely person she is. Thank you for sharing your quilt with us. Here are some pictures of Greensleeves.

Don\'t apologize...it can still be read... thanks for the great pictures...I was about ready to ask if anyone had any...I was totally intrigued by the name, as "Greensleeves" is my #1 favorite song.

kennan100 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks for the pictures Chris! As always this is beautiful! I love the balance of the pattern and the quilting. Claudia and Marilyn...who can not see ribbons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Well my heart is still skipping beats over this quilt. It is simply gorgeous and the work involved is staggering. Congratulations to both of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzakel Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Claudia and Marilyn, your quilt is absolutely stunning!! I hope to see it at a show sometime soon. Congratulations to both of you!!! Shana, Claudia is a wonderful hostess and she and her husband have the most awesome dog I\'ve ever met! He\'s so wonderful that after visiting them, I couldn\'t get him off my brain, and now I have one too. So, if you visit them; be warned that you may need a big furry four legged friend of your own when you return home. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowquilter Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Oh Shanna, I\'m so sorry I didn\'t remember meeting you-you\'d have thought it would have stuck in my memory-a quilter from Alaska! I do get a little brain-dead after demo-ing George for a few hours and talking to everybody. The part about the dog that Sue Kelly mentioned, is TRUE. Gus is a charmer, but then so is Marley, her Labradoodle, who looks just like Gus. It is a danger, when you come here, but the invitation still stands. Chris, thank you SO MUCH for the pictures of Greensleeves. They are wonderful and it is such a thrill to see it hanging there. You know, you send a quilt off and you never know if it\'s going to behave and show off or if it\'s going to be ornery and let everybody see that wavy border you thought you fixed. Like sending a five year-old off to kindergarten! You never know what family secrets they\'re going to bring up for Show and Share!

xxooms Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Fabulous quilt and I\'m dying to see more details. I never would have thought about using the semi-circular or crescent moonlike fabric, but it does give the quilt a lot of motion and punch. I especially like the quilting in the white/cream areas near the points that "add" extra points. This scores 100 in my book!

You can always expect great things when these 2 ladies team-up! I love all of the quilts I have seen that they have done together!! Which brings up a question: Is there a link to a webiste or a book at all about the quilts made by Claudia and Marilyn? Just wonder if I have missed out on any... Also - What ribbon or place did this quilt win? Congratulations by the way too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
