Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of it. It is a redwork pattern
of an angel, but I did it in lots of colors. I have already traced it
on my fabric, and I looked to make sure I still have the same backing
and binding that I used on the other one. It won't quite be the same,
but it will do.

I cannot help thinking, If she didn't like it, why the hell did she buy it?
It sounds lovey to me.
And congratulations on the ribbon.

Oh gosh Sherry, excuse me for saying so, but what a bi*ch! She could
still have refused AND been polite about it. Some people just astound me.
Anyway, many congrats on the awesome win! I'm sorry the rules changed
and your ribbon winning quilt got away. (I'm afraid I would have assumed
the rules were the same from one year to the next as well.) Did you
happen to get a picture of it? I'd love to see it.
Best regards,

Unbelievable. Hrmph.
Congratulations on the win!
I wonder whether anyone you might reach took a picture of it.
Actually, that would be a good thing for the show officials to do, at
least for all the winning quilts.
