The show was incredible ~ everyone did a fabulous job putting it together.
Having The Supper Quilt was certainly a big draw for quilters and non-quilters alike.
Everyone was in awe of this absolutely beautiful quilt.
The quilt was made by Donald Locke of Texas.
It took him 2 years to make the quilt, and it was quilted by Linda Taylor.
Each of the squares started out as 1 inch square! that means they are 1/2 inch finished!
and he used a little feather weight to sew this creation!! Unbelievable!

I loved the show for other reasons ... selfish reasons!!!!
As soon as I arrived and walked thru the door one of my quilty gal pals came up to me,
hugged me and said "Did you See?" "See what I just go t here"
Then she grabbed my hand lead me over to one of my quilts
where I found a "Judges Choice - Best of Show" ribbon!!!
Thank you Marianne for keeping me contained!
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry ... so I cried!
It is just so exciting to make something, share it with others
and have them really appreciate what you do.
So here I am with my quilt and my ribbon!

Then .... once I came down from the clouds ...
another quilty gal pal came up and said the same thing
only it was for my other quilts in the show ....
OK - now I'm on the floor and they've come out with the putty knife to scrape me up!!!

OKAY so it's taken me a day or two to come down from the clouds - I still can not believe I won three Judges ribbons. OH and three Vendor Choice ribbons! Just unbelievable!
As I white gloved around the show and marveled over all the other quilts,
not just quilts but - works of art,
I felt so privilege to be amongst such a talented group of ladies.
Thank you RNQG for a fabulous quilt show.
