...from his 6-months-journey through US with the World Quilt Show!

I just received the parcel from the German coordinator. The quilt is in perfect condition and I am very proud about the blue ribbon I won.

My entry for the show 2011 is already finished!

Andrea,

1. Congrats on getting that WELL deserved ribbon!! That quilt is absolutely gorgeous!

2. I am so envious of your talent and "stick to it"!! I can start things like this, but get bored and never finish them!!

<~~Speechless!!

You are heartly invited!

:D

Congrrats!

I can't talk b/c the pics just took my breath away!!!!!!!! :D

Stunning quilting!! Congratulations!! Happy to hear it made it back home safely :D:D:D

thank you for sharing your gorgeous quilt with so many others. I'm glad it got back to you safely.

Drop dead gorgeous!

I should think a blue ribbon !! Stunning work ! Frame it ?!

Gorgeous. Well done you talented lady.

Gorgeous quilt! Your quilting is fantastic! :)

Just beautiful, Andrea. Your quilts are all magnificent.

What kind of batting did you use? And how many incredibly even stitches per inch do you get?

Thank you all for your nice comments!

Janet:
I used a Hobbs 80/20 for that quilt, one of my favourites. I also like the Legacy 80/20, Quilter's Dream Cotton and Tuscany or Legacy cotton.
The number of stitches varies a little, of course - depending on the fabric and the batting. On that quilt I could make ca. 15 per inch (counted on the top).

so beautiful, you sure did derserve the 1st place! one could only hope to be able to quilt as you do, you do just amazing work!!

Congratulations, beautiful work.

Bet you are relieved to have it back - and btw, it is sooooooo much more stunning in person. (Saw it in Santa Clara - it took my breath away.)

OMG!! Andrea, that is just drop dead, stunning, gorgeous and amazing. Yes you truly deserved the "Best of" ribbon for this one. I remember when you announced you won but were not allowed to post pictures of it. This was soooo worth the wait to see pics. Just beautiful. A true work of art.

Congrats. I'm glad your baby is home. That is a beautiful quilt. I can see why it won blue.

You're right Sue! I had the absolute pleasure of seeing this particular quilt in person when I went to the World Quilt Show back in August. Her work is way more than stunning! Clearly she was born to hand quilt as her name suggests. Keep quilting Andrea, we sure love to see them! :thumbup:

Wow! That is some amazing stitching!!! Blue Ribbon for sure!

Amazingly beautiful work. Congratulations.

I will for sure! The quilt for the World Quilt Competition 2011 is already finished!

Well worth first place! Absolutely stunning! I'd have been scared to let something that had that much work in it out of my sight.

I would suspect the co-ordinator is happy to have it back in your hands too. That is a lot of responsibility. Congratulations. It is well deserved. I always love your work.

That is soooooooooooooo cool Andrea. I am proud for you!! :) hope I can be as good someday. Im working on it and LOVING IT!!! Thanks so much for all your help and inspiration.

Stunning!! Happy to see you rec'd a blue ribbon. If you wouldn't have - there would have been something wrong!!

Congratulations!!! Gorgeous, perfect work. Wow!

Wonderful work You are SO clever.
Well done.
Annie
