Glad to see you won ribbons on your quilts. You did a great job on them.
I took a king size quilt to enter in our county fair this year and they told me I could not enter it because it had been professionally quilted. I checked to see if it could be entered in our state fair but it said if it is machine quilted it has to have at least two different quilting designs on it. That left me out too since mine is quilted using a pantograph.
I told them at the county fair that not everyone is lucky or rich enough to have a long-arm quilting machine. How else are we supposed to have them quilted. They said they know that but they were just getting so many entries of that sort that they had to cut that category out. Not enough room to hang them I guess.
Oh well, I made the quilt for my son and his wife and they love the quilt even if it didn't get to go to the fair!!
