Ronald's Flight received two ribbons at MQX in New Hampshire!
I was able to take a few wonderful classes, one was from Bethanne Nemesh and
another from Karen Machetti.
He won the
"Faculty Award" from Candace West
and the "Founders Award" from Lisa Shelke
Crazy thing is that Ronald is taking his Certified Pilots Teachers License this week!
And will be teaching up and down the east coast this summer!
Here
is the form that hung with his quilt!
I am so... Thankful I received Ronald as one of my sons!
I was so... happy that my mom was able to be there with me!
With Mary Schilke!
The Swedish Double Chain did not receive any ribbons however
I was honored to have two quilts in this event.
My mom and I!
another from Karen Machetti.
Here is a few of Bethanne's quilts!
Do you recognize the quilt behind me from the cover of her book?
Here are my buddies!
My mom and Sherrie from Jersey Shore Modern Quilt Guild
Sherri is also a Nolting longarm quilter.
Diane is starting to apply her talent to L/A quilting as well!
Nancy is also a professional longarm quilter.
Taking a chance is worth it.
Support from family and friends--is the best.
Being open to new things has so many rewards.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous time! Those two quilts are really personally done. Lovely way to sew a story into a quilt. Congrats to Ronald, and to you for the award too :) SO nice to meet you more!
ReplyDeleteHi Helen when I saw your link photo I straight away thought of the great barrier reef where I live, it looks like the sea and sky off the coast here and so so beautiful. What a lovely lovely quilt and what an adventure you have had. Two fantastic quilts hung at the same time. Thanks so much for sharing, I have not visited before and have loved the last hour travelling back in time on your site. Cheers Glenda Australia
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning awards for Ronalds Quilt, it really is amazing!! I love your Swedish Irish chain too. the pattern and the quilting combined make it such a captivating quilt. I so agree with you that it doesn't matter if a quilt wins an award, that it's an honour to see it hanging as part of a show. Great to see you lots of fun people time too, with your mum, and classes and other quilters.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on both quilts, Helen! I envy you getting to take a class from Judi the Green Fairy! It sounds like it was a great show. Thanks for sharing the photos, especially those breathtaking quilts by Bethanne.
ReplyDeleteYou are a talented lady! Congrats on your recognition, it's always nice to know others appreciate and value your work! I am sorry I missed such a good time and hope to make the next trip of fun, food, laughs and quilts!!
