NICE Terry! Congratulations!

I love all of Terry's quilt but Grandmother's flowers will encourage me to return to 3-D flowers that I put on a quilt for my niece about 20 years ago. I had so much fun being creative experiment with different fabrics and hand stitching techniques I want to do it again!

Terry, congratulations on your ribbions. Beautiful quilts....Doreen

Thanks everyone. I won't forget how to spell it...it is "bodkin".
And Terri...congratulations on all your ribbons! That is a big deal!

When I started making Hst's I wondered to myself if there was such a thing as too much starch (and could it be used to 'glue' the layers together so that they would not move), but didn't like to ask. Last Friday evening when I was trying to open some of my hst's that I had made in my more generous starch moments I got my answer which was ' Yes you can be too generous, and it is a right nusiance!'

Therefore I would hereby like to apologise to any Sottt or BatsRUS that has also been the recipient of my extravagant starching experiments.

Congratulations Terry!!! And thanks so much for posting photos and links for us!

beautiful quilts terry, especially like grandmothers flowers - love the 3-dimensional effect, congratulations )

I tried lots of firsts in the project and had so much fun with it. It represents flower gardens that my grandmothers' grew.

Wow! Was I ever surprised to see ribbons on my entries at the Sandy Quilt show yesterday!!! Thank you Shirley for posting the news about my ribbons and a special thank you to those who requested photos. Below are two photos.

This was my entry in the hand applique and machine quilted category; I called it Woodland Flower and it was awarded a third place:

This was my entry in the group category; it was too large for me to get a photo of the whole quilt. The border you see at the bottom, is repeated at the top. I named this quilt, Pinwheel Buzz and it was awarded a second place:

I won these blocks from two different BOMs in two different years through my quilt guild. I had no idea how I was going to put them together until I took a workshop from Sharyn Craig and then it took me another year to get the project finished. It is a full bed sized quilt. It is free motion quilted with butterflies, dragon flies and different sized spider webs. It is going to be auctioned off next spring at an Elks club to raise money for scholarships for high seniors planning to attend college.

Congratulations Terry, We all want to see photos, everyone photos please.
Thank you everyone for all your kind words, I will surely pass them on to the quilt recipients.
I am planning on doing a letter to each recipient with the story of the SotTTs.
This has been an awesome experience for me and all your messages have gotten me through some tough times these last few months, more to come too. I feel like I have lots of friends around the world, I would love to go to the US to one of your wonderful quilt shows.
On Saturday I went to a trunk show, one of the top quilters here in North Queensland showed all her wonderful quilts, bags, etc. etc. to a group of us. Her name is Ruth Bloomfield and she has won some awards at Houston and other shows in the US. It was wonderful to be able to see and touch her works, she will be having some workshops here soon, can't wait to go to some of these.
Cheers to all,
Louise
