The Town ‘n Country Quilt Guild’s biennial quilt show, Threads of Texas, near Stephenville, TX, is over for 2016. I imagine there are some members still recovering from organizing and staffing this wonderful exhibit.
My friend Peggy and I sold tickets for four hours. We met lots of people eager to see the quilts, shop for supplies and gifts, and have a little lunch.
Along with our friends Hazel and Donna from the weekly Dublin Rippers bee, we entered several quilts in the show. We’ve changed our name temporarily to “The Ribbon Ladies,” because between us, we won a total of eleven ribbons!
Afternoon won a blue ribbon (first place) in the category “Other Techniques—Small.” I posted in-progress photos of Afternoon earlier in this blog.
You’ll also find some blog posts about Red Vases, which won second place in the same category. Same for Antelope Horns, coming in at third place.
I haven’t written about Crochet Comets yet (but I will!). It is my first quilt made from quilting fabric, and it’s embellished with doilies. Crochet Comets and Red Vases won merit ribbons for embellishment.
Peggy has already planned what she’s going to sew for Threads of Texas 2018. I’m not sure what I’m going to enter, but I am sure looking forward to it!
