After all the months of quilting, it looks exactly the way I had hoped it would. The contrast of the straight line quilting and the curved quilting looks perfect. And after completely quilting the border of feathers not once but twice, you can definitely see them. I am thrilled.
And my sweet little Navy quilt "Going Home" that was made for the 100th anniversary of Naval Aviation won a third place. This was a very full, competitive category, and I am very happy about a ribbon. Our judge this year was Anita Shackelford. She's an incredible quilter and she judged our quilts with a great deal of detail. I'll share more pictures later, it is a great show! We have 258 quilts hanging. If you're close to Pensacola, come by tomorrow and say hi!
Thanks for all your encouraging comments over the last few months about my wedding quilt. My very humble little log cabin has brought me much joy :)!!Until next time,
-Karen

Congratulations, not once, but twice. Two very well deserved awards. You must be over the moon.
Congratulations Karen! I am sooooooooo happy for you!
I'm so happy for you Karen! What a journey this has been and it's so well deserved. I wish I were there to see this amazing quilt and you, the amazing quilter to give you a big huge hug. Gosh life takes turns, doesn't it? Your "Going Home" quilt is pretty darn fantastic, too and Karen - I've definitely heard of Anita Shackelford so gosh that's a big huge extra golden star on those ribbons. Just WOW!!!
Both quilts are awesome!!! I really love the log cabin quilt and the way you quilted it is wonderful! The Going Home quilt is very touching - especially with the war going on and DS being overseas right now (he's a pilot in the Air Force). I wish I was there so I could see them in person!
Well done!!
A very happy surprise....
Congrats. Beautiful. Love log cabin quilts.
Congratulations! The log cabin is my favorite quilt pattern ... and your design is simply outstanding!
There was no doubt your quilts should receive ribbons as they are beautiful. Also to know that ANITA was a judge!!!
Oh! I'm so-o happy for you! You look absolutely gorgeous standing in front of your beautiful quilt. How telling that your work received such an honor from Anita Shackelford! Wow! Congratulations on awards well-deserved! You can rightly be very proud of what you've accomplished. It's time to enter that log cabin quilt into a juried show, don't you think? Happy National Quilting Day!
Congratulations, Karen! I know these two quilts have been very special to you - now you have extra layers of special memories attached to them. Kudos for all your hard work!
Congratulations on the ribbons. I felt like your log cabin quilt would be a winner and it is. Anita Shackleford as a judge is a good selection. She is a very talented quilter and teacher.
Oh, Karen, congratulations! That blue ribbon is so well-deserved. That is a beautiful quilt and is beautifully quilted. A winner all around!
Both works are absolutely beautiful - no wonder you are thrilled. I can't believe that you quilted these in the time period that you did - so fast and so spectacular. What a lovely way to celebrate National Quilt Day.
Congratulations! Both quilts are just beautiful! :0)
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
Well deserved! Gorgeous.
I am blessed to have seen these quilts at the show. They are both just stunning and deserving of ribbons. Your quilting is just superb. Can't wait to see what you dream up next.
