I used your method of making ribbons for our celebrity judges. First off,
everyone loved the idea! I ended up with 15 ribbons to make. So that wasn't
too bad.
I did change one thing. I found all kinds of free blocks on the internet and
just saved them on my desktop in a file. I then imported the pictures into
Publisher, laminated them, made a back the same size as the front where I
put the date and guild information and punched 2 holes for the safety pin.
Inserted the safety pin and glued on the 2 ribbons made out of cardstock
which identified that these were celebrity judges and who they were.. I
then glued the front laminated quilt block pic to the back portion.
Clothespinned them all together and let them dry.
Realized I had put in every stinkin' safety pin backwards. Had to cut a
slit in the back, get them out, turn them around, reinsert that safety pin
and tape a patch over the slit. They held up, but I held my breath.
Everyone was VERY impressed and the celebrity judges had a ball. We really
enjoyed all of them except the chick from the paper who showed up 2 hours
late and could NOT make up her mind.
I was really bemused by the fact that the bank president (the bank is one
of our sponsors) chose a whole cloth quilt as his favorite. It was
beautifully done, but for a non-quilter, especially a man to even notice the
workmanship was amazing. My husband would have thought someone hung a white
sheet up by mistake.
Most of the other's were pretty predictable. Most of the men seemed to
favor 2 color quilts. Especially purple and white and red and white. The
rest of the men and the woman chose across the board.
I thought it was ironic that not one celebrity judge chose the Best-in-Show
quilt. But not many of the rest of us could figure that out either.
I won 2 ribbons. A first and second in the miniature category. I will post
pictures tomorrow.
We had a good crowd and some great vendors. I did my part to help the
economy. Attendance was down a little, but we kind of expected that. What
we didn't expect was that we were down 50 quilts from last year. We only
had 152 entries. I have no idea what the problem was.
I love the quilt show, but I am glad it was over and I was just a volunteer.
I would never be chair, it would finish me off.
