Quilting Winners
I went to the Cascade Quilt guild quilt show this weekend
and was delighted to see so many of my customers quilts not only hanging, but
possessing ribbons.
I love winning a
ribbon. It means I did a fine job sewing
my little pieces together, I made it pleasing enough to attract a judge’s good
opinion and the quilting I put on it enhanced it to the point it was ribbon
worthy.
The only thing I love more than
getting a ribbon for MY work is seeing my customers getting ribbons for their
work.

| Colorwash designed pieced and quilted by Janice Kiser - Blue Ribbon and Vendors Choice |

| Black Opal pieced and quilted by Janice Kiser - 2nd place |
I quilted 13 of the ribbon winners in this show of 110
quilts. That’s pretty good odds in my
opinion.
And I am especially pleased
that my friend who entered a quilt for the very first time got Best of
Show. She is not sure she wants to enter
again, as she has achieved the highest honor first time out!

They are all beautiful, but I especially like Colorwash and Friday's Child. What a heap of talent at that show!
ReplyDeleteI love quilts tho I am not a quilter. I think my face of all these amazing quilts is the one of the different panels of flowers.
ReplyDeleteYou, and your friends, did exceptionally well. And thank you so much for showing us the incredible back to Grannie's Enchanted Garden.
ReplyDeleteYour work on Friday's Child is truly beautiful. I expect the maker is dancing a jig of joy in heaven (or hell).
I do like quilts and know how much work is involved, they are all lovely but granny enchanted garden is my pick as the best.
ReplyDeleteMerle......
Janice, Those are beautiful! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteDear Jan, I came over from your sister Joanne's blog to visit yours and see these awesome quilts. Congratulations for all your ribbons and also for being such a fine teacher. I taught in schools for many years and like you I found myself so pleased when my students did well. And when they did even better than I'd ever dreamed of doing I felt such a glow of gratitude for what they were teaching me and such pride in their work. Peace.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Loved Colorwash and Black Opal, the best of all shown.
