    Default 3rd Place Ribbon!!!

    I learned to quilt a little over 10 years ago when my daughter was expecting her first child. I joined a local guild 4 years ago and joined a bee with about 10 ladies. I have learned a lot from my quilting friends. I got a HandiQuilter 16 a couple of years ago and have taken FMQ classes at International Festival. In my heart, a quilt is not truly mine unless I piece and quilt it.

    I LOVE 30's fabric so I decided to enter my Anita's Arrowhead quilt. I entered under the category, 1st time to enter a quilt in a quilt show, any technique, 1 or 2 person completing. There were 18 ladies who entered. I placed 3rd! The 1st and 2nd place winners were 2 person quilts, pieced by the entrant and quilted by a longarm person. I quilted my quilt on my HandiQuilter using several designs. Can't wait till 2017 when I can enter another one, my grandmothers flower garden and my dresden plate!

    Most likely your file size is too big. Here is a link on how to resize pictures for the QB. I have reset my digital camera so it doesn't make such huge files. You don't need that kind of resolution unless you are printing the pictures.
