I finished this quilted wall hanging yesterday to submit for competition. The horse's name is Willy. He is a famous rodeo horse in these parts.
The Calgary Stampede is a yearly rodeo here (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) in July.
I'm hoping to win the 1st place ribbon!

Looks like a winner to me. Good job.

Wow! You go girl! You made Willy come alive! You're already a winner in our book!

Well, I'm hoping you win first place, too. That is so beautiful and so realistic. Good luck. You sure do deserve first place with that.

Awesome!!! It looks like a blue ribbon winner to me too :D:D:D

I like it!!! Keep us posted on how you do, looks like a winner to me.

I'll find out on July 9th (first day of the Stampede). I get to see it hanging on display also :)

How awesome! You are a sure winner!!!

Wow that is fantastic. You did a great job. You deserve to win.

Awesome, we all voted and blue ribbon from the quilters at Quilting Board site!

I am in awe!!! It looks so real....what a great job you did!!! You deserve to win!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Great job. Did you use raw edge applique? If so, did you stitch around edges, if so, what stitch did you do? How about all of the little accents?

I would vote 1st place ribbon.

So Great! Ye Ha!

Sure looks like a winner. Great work!

That is wonderful!! I love picture quilts and admire anyone who makes them. If I were a judge, I would give you the top prize.

Yes!

Good luck - it's beautiful!

So beautiful!....

I attached the pieces to a base with Heat n Bond (should have used Steam a Seam or something of higher quality :oops: ). Pieces were starting to come off as I quilted.
I cut each little itty bitty piece and ironed it on. I tried using a variety of colours for all-over quilting. Some swirls, some continuous line quilting. It turned out pretty well but I wished I had more time to work on it.
Ahh, the stress of the deadline!!

I think its amazing - did you take any pics when work was in progress?

Nice quilt, nice horse.

Wow! Looks great!

Love your picture quilt. Have wanted to come to the Stampede for years. Maybe one day I will get there. I live in Spo..so you would think I would get there..lol

Willy is a beauty and so is your quilt! You make me miss my 3 quarterhorses! Sigh.
