Just about every comment you made is so much like what I've said and the ways I've been treated over my 32 years of being a professional machine quilter. (Recently retired.) Just last month a customer asked me to quilt her quilt so it would win a ribbon at the fair like the one she did last year. Yeah, it don't work like that.<br /><br />Congratulations on your wins and thank you for showing them to us. Maybe sometime you can write a post to describe the way to went about creating your quilts for the big shows? Did you make them specifically for the show or did the quilt happen to fit a category?

Good grief -- Sometiimes you have to wonder about whether people can hear tye crap coming out of their own mouths! Give me Blue Ribbon quilting? Must be computerized?! How can you respond to these people without losing your temper? No computer could ever do what you do!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26850144.post-68903982049361277852014-07-28T14:55:55.412-07:002014-07-28T14:55:55.412-07:00Congrats, Margaret!

As we toured the show, at each of these quilts, without looking at the tag, we said, "Just look at that gorgeous quilting.....it looks like Margaret's work!" And sure enough, it was! Well done on your own ribbons, and the contribution to the others! reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822110311373036914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26850144.post-64494401950490447482014-07-28T14:26:42.089-07:002014-07-28T14:26:42.089-07:00In my case, people look at my free-piecing and aut...In my case, people look at my free-piecing and automatically assume it was paper-pieced.<br /><br />Great post - congrats on your many successes!Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26850144.post-30253301728452127622014-07-28T08:17:32.454-07:002014-07-28T08:17:32.454-07:00It's always great to see your quilts winning a...It's always great to see your quilts winning awards. And that's sad that the ribbon winner didn't acknowledge that it was a team effort. Now as for the people saying that your quilting must be computerized, well phoey on them. (But I would take it as a compliment on how precise your quilting skills are.)<br /><br />I'm still learning my computerized system and already I can tell you that the amount of time it would take to program around every little teeny tiny applique is a lot. For some of those areas it would make more sense to just hand guide it. But it is nice for E2Es.Tami @ Lemon Tree Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655631671353374029noreply@blogger.com
