You do wonderful work, love both of your entries! Congratulations!

You deserved to win, Eddie, great job on both :thumbup: :thumbup:

beautiful quilt and pillow congratulation on winning at the fair. That is my dream to enter one of mine in the local fair here. You have now inspired me to do so. Thanks

You definitely have a talent. Great job! I'll be looking forward to seeing more of your projects in the months to come.

Good for you!!! I am so glad you entered the fair, your work is beautiful and deserves a blue ribbon.

Hi from Canada, Your work is Great. So glad to that you entered into a local fair. We need more quilters to enter as it is always adds to the fair and not everyone can win .I do judging at local fairs and it amazes me the talet that comes from around the district. Quilters can put their quilts in for disply only if they don't want to be judged. This adds to to the fair. It can be any craft for display. I always admire your work on this site.
Keep up the great work. Just love your pillow!!!!!

OK Eddie - why am I NOT surprised! WTG mate - and those two were two of my favourite works of yours so I must have good taste, right? And well done to Olivia for getting Dad into line! :D

That's awesome!!! Congratulations.... No matter how good we think our quilts are, it so nice to have someone else agree..... :-) :-) Beautiful work especially the pillow...never had the courage to try those windows...lol

Congrats! Both of your items are outstanding! I am working on a cathedral window pillow my self. It looks like you turned back the windows by machine. Was that difficult? How big of squares did you start out with? Have you seen the book "Cathedral window quilts " by Lynne Edwards? I have been drooling over her creations!

Your work is gorgeous. Congratulations on your win--you deserve it.

Congrats. Beautiful work.

CONGRATS!!!! :mrgreen: You deserve to win -- those are beautiful!

Eddie - Congratulations. I've been seeing your quilts on this site and quite honestly I would have been shocked if you hadn't won. You always seem to have a beautiful quilts (and pillow), your color choices are beautiful and you take the time to make your points, etc line up beautifully. :) :) :)
Glad your DD "encouraged" you--sometimes we need our kids to give us that little extra push :) :)
Congrats again.

Congrats to you! I am not surprised that you won!

Congratulations Eddie. Your work is beautiful!!! No one would believe that you are a beginner!
I have never entered a quilt in the fair. Maybe someday, I am too chicken. I have entered needlework and have done very well.

Good job and congratulations on your ribbons! :D

These are beautiful! I love the border on your quilt. Your pillow is so cute. Congrats on your win. Lura

Great big CONGRATS!!! You truly do deserve to win...your work is always so beautiful!!

Well, if you're a relative newbie to quilting, you sure could have fooled me. They are both gorgeous, and I love the scalloped binding. I haven't tried that yet. Way to go, Eddie!

Are you going to enter it next year?

Good job Eddy! Now aren't you glad you entered? Time to start planning for next year's fair and find a local quilt show!
I took the big leap in entering a local quilt show, it's next Saturday. I don't think I will win ribbons but I am looking forward to seeing my quilt hanging in a show.
Congrats. PS will you share what the judge wrote??

Congratulations!! Spectacular work. :thumbup:

They are beautiful and definitely worth the blue ribbons you won. :D :D

Very, Very nice!! You are truly a winner! Love your scrappy colors, I'm a scrappy person myself. Keep on quilting! :D

Congrats on the win, you deserve it. Your quilt and pillow were beautiful.

Congratulations Eddie. Your work is beautiful. I am not surprised at all that you won 1st place with both entries.

I loved both pieces when you first posted them and I love them still. They are gorgeous and it doesn't surprise me at all that you won. You REALLY are very talented and now, hopefully, you will believe that! Congratulations!

I was thinking the same thing, I was not shocked to hear that you won but CONGRATS!! all your work is great and you deserve it :mrgreen:

Congrats on your ribbons, your work is wonderful you deserve them.

Congrats! They're both beautiful.

I loved that pillow - is there a name for how you did the triangles?

Wonderful quilts !!!! You deserved those blue ribbons.

Congratulations Eddie!! And you deserve those ribbons!!

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the compliments and words of support. :)

Klue, I smiled when I read that because one of the comments that the judge wrote on the back of my entry tag was something like "nice work on the binding". When I read that I immediately thought of that thread here on the forum from a few days ago where we were discussing hand vs. machine binding and the comments in the thread about judges looking at the execution rather than the technique.

It's all machine done. Hand sewing just doesn't appeal to me personally because of the time involved, although I really like to see it when others do it.
