Good thinking, Heidi. It's just very possible that someone at the quilt
auction did makes pictures of Sherry's quilt. I was too busy being
indignant that I didn't think of that. Polly

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.

holy smokes.
if that RUDE lady changed the binding she must be a quilter.
i never knew another quilter could be so cruel when it comes to quilts.
other things maybe but quilts?
how RUDE!!!
not to worry, she'll get her comeuppance one day.
i hope ya got a pix of it so we can drool over it.
i still cant believe someone would change perfectly good and essentially new
binding for the colour. how weird is that.
Congrats on the second place ribbon.
you did good and sadly that RUDE lady did not do good.

I won a second place ribbon for a miniature quilt I made for our quilt
show last weekend. That's the good news. The bad news is they sold
my mini quilt. It is a mini quilt auction, but in the past, they did
not sell the minis that won ribbons without asking. I was unable to
attend the show, and I assumed that I would get it back. I called the
lady who purchased it, and explained to her that I had never won a
ribbon, and could I pay her what she had paid for it, or I would even
make her another one. She very rudely told me that she hated the
color of the binding on the quilt, thought it was an awful color, and
she had changed it. She then told me to make myself another one, and
hung up on me. I am making myself another one. I talked to the lady
in charge of the auction, and she said she was sorry that the mini had
been sold, but that I had not told her not to sell any of the ones I
made if they won a ribbon. It was my fault since I assumed the rules
had not changed. Oh well, that's another lesson learned.

I bet with her lousy taste in binding, that rude person will never win
a ribbon!

That's great you won a ribbon! As for the rude lady that bought it, what
comes around goes around. Shame on her. Give it no further thought and
enjoy your ribbon, you earned it!
Take Care

Oh, Sherry, how awful for you! Not only to have the quilt sold
unexpectedly, but to such a rude woman!
