Show Ribbon Quilt for Sue
A couple of years ago, a good friend ask if I could make a quilt out of her show ribbons (earned showing her wonderful mules). Not being one to back down from a challenge, of course I said, "yes", and she brought me a Rubbermaid bin of ribbons to work with.
Here are a few pictures of the result. The center is a threadwork portrait of Eddy, one of her mules, done on brown batik fabric.
I learned a lot about working with show ribbons, but most importantly that I'll never do it again!

I remember when you first posted Eddy. It was a joy to see it then and now again. I have heard some absolute horror stories about working with show ribbons. One was that they tended to get very hard once ironed. You did a fabulous job with this.
