Quilt show ribbon!

I can't believe it!  Polly Pocket got a ribbon at the Carson Valley Quilt Show :)  It was for best Wholecloth, and  . . . . . . drum roll please . . . . . . it came with a check for $250!!  WOW!  Here it is hanging on the design wall.   I knew about the ribbon, I saw the winners list online, but the check was a terrific surprise!






Now Polly is back home and hanging up with some extra bling :)

The T-shirt quilt ended up great and the customer was very happy.  Managed to finish the two samplers and will be delivering them in the next day or two.  One got some light custom quilting - feathers and cross-hatching in the blocks, egg & dart in the sashing and double piano keys in the outer border.


  The other was busier so I went with a Baptist Fan using my EZ boards.  I tried a new path with the boards, and am very pleased with how it stitched out.


Also finished was a table runner for a cousin's wedding.  I use the same pattern for weddings and just utilize the wedding colors to make it personal.  The wedding date and bride & groom's names are stitched in the outer border.





It's been a productive few weeks!
