Hi Feline,
I'm so glad to hear you entered, and I'm really looking forward to seeing your quilts.
I entered two. One is the red and white quilt I made for my step son and his wife, the other is an uncompleted (still!) challenge quilt from 2007.
I decided to take the challenge seriously then, and did everything by machine. It has definitely been a teaching tool, but a lot of fun. It incorporates the original 2007 challenge fabric, and lots of scraps, so I entered it as a theme quilt.
The Dutchess Heritage show is this weekend, and I'd love to go, but I'll be spending my 3 day weekend machine quilting, binding and sleeving this quilt. Thank goodness for size limitations - it's small enough I might be able to get 'er done.
I will be there both days, so I hope we can meet up.

Miss Sandra, I will do my best to keep this topic near the top!!
It's a great show, and now you know two board members will be showing their quilts. We'd love to see you there.

The quilt is a gift for my brother and he totally loves it but he has not seen the awful patch job yet. :roll:

I'm glad you didn't pull it. I think your hand quilting designs are very creative, and besides, there usually aren't enough hand quilted items in the show for me to drool over.
In my experience, the judge's critique is usually kinder than my own. I try not to give guided tours of my errors anymore because no one else notices them.
There should be lots of eye candy. The last show had some amazing quilts with machine quilting from the local longarmers - they took my breath away!
