Beautiful quilt. I envy anyone who can hand quilt! Congrats on your win!

that's a lovely quilt. In our fair, machine and hand quilting are separate categories. We just got separation on embroidery. It might not hurt to ask who sets up the categories. My guild runs the fair's show, pays the prize money and hires the outside, licensed judge, so although judging is independent, categories are not and fit the trends in local submissions.

I entered this quilt in our County Fair and won 3rd place. A Bargello won first place and it was gorgeous!!! I really thought I'd place second since mine was all quilted by hand so I was a little disappointed but there's always next year!! :)

I agree with you totally. Now in our quilt show, I believe that quilts that use machine embroidery should be separate from hand embroidery blocks. But, I guess we have to limit our awards since we are a small group. (40 members)

I also wanted to tell you that I love your quilt and admire your patience doing hand quilting.

Your quilt is lovely and congratulations on your ribbon. Some shows have separate categories for hand and machine quilting, but some do not. I scribed for a certified judge who made the comment that well done is well done no matter the technique.
