That little one with the ribbon on it is especially so -- it's hard to get tiny points so crisp, and your quilting is in perfect scale to the piecing.

Good job I'm not trying to catch up, Pati g
One will do me just fine - as and when! Now you have a photo place, we'll be able to see yours, so that's terrific. .. In message , Pati C. writes And my first one is just less than a quarter quilted. I've started a second one and need to get back to it.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words. This is why it has always been so
hard for me to enter a competition. Because all of you and my guild members are just so darn complementary. I didn't think I could take a "mean" judge. Plus, I've never entered because I don't think that competition necessarily brings out the best in folks. People are already complaining that some people got special treatment, some were deliberately placed into "favorable" catagories. You know, the usual. I say bring your quilts we'll hang them up and enjoy the heck out of them. Everybody's a winner. Cindy |

Congratulations on your well deserved ribbon. Thanks for providing a taste
of your quilt show! -- Susan in Kingston ON back to quilting, as usual http://community.webshots.com/user/sbtinkingston "teleflora" wrote in message ... I was stunned that I won a ribbon for this little quilt. I woke up at 5 last Saturday. We were taking in quilts for the show for this weekend and I knew I was going to be stressed and I fell awake waaaaay too early. It's not like me to start sewing that early. I've stayed up that late sewing, but I am NOT a morning person. Anyway, for some reason, this quilt was calling me. I started it a year ago and had yet to sew the binding on. So I got it out and finished it. We took in quilts from 9 till 3 and had 169 quilts. I entered all the information as we went along. Got behind because people WOULD not quit talking to me :-), and ended up lugging 35 quilts home with me because I couldn't remove the paperwork from the quilt. Got done entering all that information into Access on Saturday night. I spent all day Sunday ( my birthday!) merging the information into a Word document, and cutting and pasting it into a Publisher document because that's what the printer people insist on. Had it to the printers by noon on Monday (that was the stress part). They finished the booklet at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. Judging was on Thursday afternoon and Friday. I got to sit in and scribe for the judge for awhile. Most interesting and informative. We set up for the quilt show all day Friday - one of my favorite days of the year. I get to handle every quilt because I do the hang tags and insist on placing them myself. Our show started at 9 this morning and I was at the auditorium at 7. I finally left at 4. I found the show chair and said, "I'm tired and going home. I know everyone else is tired too, but my give-a-damner is broke, so I'm leaving." The show also runs tomorrow from 1 - 4, but there are plenty of people to help, so I won't be going in. We had a dozen vendors and I did my part to make sure they come back. Bought a couple of kits, some fabric from a woman who owns Nana's Pretties. She travels the quilt show circuit - she's from Oregon. We kept asking her via email when she said she'd like to come - you do know we are in Pittsburg KANSAS, right? People get confused. I bought one of those magnetic pincushions that somehow straightens all your pins so they lay across the little ditch and are easy to pick up. Bought a bunch of hand dyed fabric. Couple of books. Came home, ate, and slept for 3 hours. Waiting for my pills to kick in so I can go back to sleep and I am going to play all day tomorrow. Anyway, if you want to see my quilts and a couple others from the show, here's the link http://community.webshots.com/user/cindypucci They are in the Quilt Show folder. Cindy |

That's the way my guild does it, too.
Julia in MN Pati C. wrote: Congratulations. Great little quilt. Understand about the stress.... one reason our local show requires entry forms with a pic of the quilt, even unfinished, but in progress, due more than a month before the show. G Also lets the layout person figure out which quilt will hang where. Easier to adjust for no-show entries that way. (of course we usually have well over 300 quilts to display, too.) Looks like a great show. Pati, in Phx http://community.webshots.com/user/PatiCooks teleflora wrote: I was stunned that I won a ribbon for this little quilt. I woke up at 5 last Saturday.
