It is both courteous and professional, and the right thing to do, to give credit to the longarm-er (is that a word?).
I've wondered about this. When the show judges it, what are they judging? The quilting or the piecing or both? If both and it is quilted and pieced by two different people, do they share the ribbon?
I believe most shows would judge both the piecing and the quilting, unless it stated otherwise. Some shows do give two ribbons, one for the piecer and one for the quilter. Some shows only give one ribbon - usually to the piecer. I have had some quilts that I quilted for customers win ribbons in shows that only give one ribbon and the customer will give me a picture of her quilt with the ribbon attached. I enjoy this very much. I have also been awarded a ribbon for a customer's quilt that the show gave two ribbons one for the piecer and one for the quilter.
