Madeline's Quilt Takes a Ribbon at Knoxville...

Madeline just got a phone call from Bonnie of American Quilters Society (AQS) announcing that she took Second Place in the Great Embroidered Quilt category at Knoxville. WAY TO GO Madeline. I am so proud of her and also myself! I had the honor of quilting this amazingly beautiful quilt! In case anyone hasn't seen it, here is a picture of Simon's Folly, the award-winning quilt (this is a picture from a prior show) -- the pattern is from Simon Haskins/Jenny Haskins, Creative Expressions Magazine Special Edition.

Here's a picture of Madeline with the quilt and a prior ribbon.

Another of my customers was juried in to AQS Knoxville, how exciting! Sallie Townsend-Hughes, and her Wildflowers quilt, which I had the honor of quilting. Here's a picture of her quilt (done earlier this year) and my ribbon... wishing her the best during this great competition!



A note to Sallie -- Thank you for crediting the machine quilter. There are some people that don't do that, so when you have someone that does, it is greatly appreciated!

Yeah! Just got word from Madeline... "Simon's Folly" was juried into the 2009 AQS (American Quilters Society) Quilt Expo - Knoxville to be held July 22-25, 2009 at the Knoxville Convention Center!
