Congratulations. Your work is beautiful. I am new to quilting and would like to know if your oasis chain quilt is an old pattern or one your created yourself?

I how you can take a plain quilt block, make a quilt then quilt it with fancy designs to make it pop. Thanks for sharing.

OH How exciting!

I am glad we placed.... :thumbup:

Congrats to you both.....beautiful quilts :)

So, where in Alabama? Is it really a National fair? I am laughing because that is so Alabama. Huntsville is my hometown and I just chuckle when I think of the Huntsville International Airport. Yeah. It was only about 12 years ago that they built covered jet ways so you didn't have to go outside to the airplane. And it is still just one terminal.

Your quilts are beautiful, by the way! Can you show us a pic of the 1st prize winner? It should have been shown in full as a winner. Its funny that you are in AL where I was born and Charisma is in WA where I am now. Maybe I am feeling loopy. Need a nap!

the fair is here in Montgomery...i have no idea why they call it the national fair lol...i know i was kinda sad that they had it folded..but i guess they had space constraints....here is the link to it http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-158119-1.htm

Congrats

Beautiful work...you're right, you and Charisma won together!! :-) Very nice for you...especially the Blue Ribbon.

Congrats on your wins. Lots of beautiful quilts - thanks for sharing and pls share a pic of your 1st place win (so we can see the entire quilt) after you get it home. Carol

I'm from Alabama and have never heard of the Alabama National Fair. We have/used to have a Alabama State Fair in Birmingham and it moved to Shelby County, did they change the name when they moved it? Congrats! ! !

not that i know of....its been that name as long as we have lived here 6 years...its in montgomery

Beautiful quilts!!! Congratulations on your ribbons!

Thanks for the link! Y'all did a great job! Very, very pretty. I used to drive through Montgomery on the way to Meridian, Mississippi to visit my DH when he was still in flight school. I was at Auburn at the time and I always felt like I was just about home after getting through Montgomery.

very nice!! don't like how they hung some of them, but they are all pretty!

Thanks for the info. Didn't know about that one.

Great job, on all of your quilts. Congratulations!!! Your work is fantastic.

Congratulations!
