2nd Place At County Fair
 
1 Attachment(s)
I didn't really want to enter this quilt at the county fair because I didn't consider it show quality, but several people encouraged me to do so. Therefore, I was quite surprised to see that I had won a 2nd place ribbon. Maybe my quilting is better than I think. Maybe if I keep quilting I will get good enough for a 1st place ribbon.

Congratulations on your Red Ribbon!!!
The first of many to come.
Isn't it such a thrill to walk in and see your quilt hanging with its ribbon?

I'm intrigued by the design and would really like to see it, full out.
... could you post one here, please? and Thanks! :)

Thank you for posting .... I like it even more!
Well designed on your part for the fabric choices, colours, and pattern design.
You truly did deserve your ribbon!

This was the Northwoods Botanical Line that I just fell in love with. Here is a lap throw that I made using the borders that came with the panels. I gave it to my sister or I probably would have entered it also.

dcamarote 07-28-2013 08:01 AM

Really pretty. Would love to have for myself.

KwiltyKahy 07-28-2013 08:04 AM

Congratulations, I am inspired by your entry. Maybe next year.

labug 07-28-2013 08:44 AM

Congrats! Great job!

starshine 07-28-2013 09:39 AM

Congrats on the ribbon. I have a question, were all quilts entered displayed or only ribbon winners? If all are it would be a reason to enter your quilt even if you don't expect to win as it lets others see it. Again congratulations and glad that your friends encouraged you to enter.

RedGarnet222 07-28-2013 09:45 AM

Congratulations on you ribbon. It is a very pretty quilt.

Both are beautiful!! Love the panel fabric and the rest that you used with it. Both are certainly ribbon-worthy!! Congratulations!!

In Canada, a red ribbon is first place! Congratulations.

JuneBillie 07-28-2013 11:13 AM

Very nice.

LynnVT 07-28-2013 11:18 AM

Both your quilts are beautiful. That is great fabric, and you have an eye for putting things together. As Starshine said, just putting a quilt on display is really gratifying. I've never been a prize winner yet, except for one "vendor's choice" at my guild show, but I like just showing my work and not feeling stressed to be perfect for the judges.

Congratulations!!

To receive Vendor's Choice is a pretty good honour ... think of it ... they are the ones selling the supplies to make quilts and should know what is good in a quilt. So if they like it, it's got to be good!

Be Proud!!

nanacc 07-28-2013 12:33 PM

Love your quilt! Congrats! I see you are from KC. My DD is in Overland Park. Where do you prefer to shop for your quilt fabric and supplies?

Quilter 65 07-28-2013 12:57 PM

Glad you posted a bigger picture so we could see all the wonderful work. Very pretty.

PattR 07-28-2013 06:09 PM

Beautiful, and a job well done. You deserved that ribbon. and yes, it's true that we ARE our own worst critics.
