great quilt.............

My son drew all of the pictures to fit a 10" block. I then traced and transferred them to fusable web. What took the most time is that I hand embroidered all the black outline and inner detail.

I've never been in a "quilt shop". I've sewn my whole life and just get fabric where I find it, usually end up at Joanne's.

Wow! you did some Beautiful work , and your son can sure draw , so happy for you that you won a Blue Ribbon.Congrats :thumbup:

congratulations, jamas, your quilt is fabulous. did you say the state fair is ending? i used to live in michigan, so sad to hear about the end of the so many great things in the state.

I hope his future bride has a sense of humor. I can see her now having to sleep under that quilt. Your son obviously loves it and so he should. You did a wonderful job. Congratulations on your well deserved ribbon.

love it, nice work U have a great talent keep up the good work

Congratulations on the Blue Ribbon!!! The quilt is very imaginative.

Yes, it is very sad the State Fair is ending. It was the oldest and longest running state fair in the country. I remember going with my grandmother. They had gone thru a really hard time several years ago because no one was attending because quality had really gone down. However, the last several years were pretty good. Lots of things I loved were gone though. The Detroit Mounted Horse Patrol always did a great performance and they are no longer together. The horse show was always a high point and the quality of that seemed less. There were always lots and lots of entries in the Community Arts building (where the quilts are) and this year it seemed empty. I know the government can't continue to subsidize everything but this was a very worthwhile event. Lots of us will miss it.

That is awesome! I love it.

So sorry the fair is ending. :-(
It is sad to see the things that make America such a great country disappear. It is expensive for the state and local government to run these things. The cost of liability insurance alone to cover the fair is astronomical!!

absolutely adorable...and judging by the smile on his face...better late than never...lol

two ragged edged quilts I made for my grandson and grandaughter

Lucky grandchildren! I love the kitty too.

Awesome! 8-)

If your son ever wants to get rid of it I want to be first on the list of people who would love to have it. Both my husband and I love those cartoons. My daughter use to come in the living room and just look mortified as her parents watched cartoons every Saturday morning.

How cool is that!

What a wonderful quilt, congrats :-D

Wow! A labor of love and destined to be loved.

Congratulations on the Blue ribbon!

I am also a lover of Marvin the Martian. Great drawing, greater embroidery and most of all a stunning quilt! Congrats on the well-deserved blue ribbon.

What a wonderful keepsake!! You both did a great job and sew deserving of the blue ribbon :D What a feeling of accomplishment you must have felt when you finished it and then to receive a blue ribbon.

Gorgeous quilt, you did an excellent job on it. Congratulations on the blue ribbon !!!

Oh My!! How nice! And Congrats on the Blue Ribbon. your son is quite the artist to draw those figures! Your applique work is fantastic. And the pieced blocks are creative also. Love it!

wonderful job on your quilt. glad you won the ribbon

Wow!!! Outstanding!!
That was so worth the time to make - even without winning the ribbon - the ribbon is just gravy ya know? That quilt is awesome and you just made someone a family treasure!

Very nicely done. :thumbup:

That is wonderful.

surely to be a true collector's quilt. Coolest thing ever! You're an awesome mom ;-)

Stunning quilt.
I called my DH in to see it and he was awestruck too.

We just heard last week that the state fair has a chance of happening again. :thumbup: It looks like it is going to be supported by a private investor and moved from the city of Detroit to Fenton just north of Howell. I hope, I hope, I hope.

What a great quilt.
