So, you all may remember I was a contestant in the Ugly quilt contest on Quilting Gallery. Well,Sue's quilt came in second place. However, it's not ugly at all. I loved it the moment I saw it. I commented on her blog that I could make it a very good home in NC and how much I loved it. Not to long later she asked for my address and today I received the quilt. Oh my.......it looks much better in person. Although, I liked it anyway. Here she tells how and why she made this. Hers is the last quilt and mine is just above it. She also sent some other goodies in my package. Oh how I love this blog land and the wonderful people I've met. You all are so great. I could never have imagined how many wonderful people I would have met.
Isn't it just great!
The center heart.
A recipe book, and a lovely rose card.
What's this you ask? Looks like a mini diploma. It's the label. How awesome!!
The label, it might be fuzzy, it had all her information on it. She made it in 2007.
So....isn't it beautiful??
I thought it was pretty in the "ugly quilt" contest. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI am still thinking there were NO ugly quilts in that contest......and seeing this second place "ugly" quilt up closer now, I am totally convinced of that! How NICE of Sue to send that to you from so far away!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that the "ugly quilt" has a loving home in NC. I guess as they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" when it comes to ugly quilts. You are lucky.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is an incredible work of art! Wow, you are so fortunate to have received it. What a prize, and what a friendship!
ReplyDeleteThis blogging world is so small to be so big!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Julia....perfect words for the blogging world. I love the quilt...glad it found a home at your place.
ReplyDeleteWow, how sweet of Sue! You lucky girl, that is one cute quilt.
ReplyDeleteI rather like the heart quilt. Is there something wrong with it that I don't see in the picture? Next time you make TJ a quilt, maybe you should select the fabric and surprise him. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh lucky you! How great is that? Now off to Sue's blog to tell her what a great person she is!
ReplyDeleteLove it! The colors are so fun and I love the heart! Is that really the ugly quilt?
ReplyDeleteThere never is a ugly quilt just ones we don't like, must say i don't think it should have been in the contest i would disqualify it for being too nice lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift you certainly are the lucky one love the heart on the quilt
Hugs Janice
Wow, that's fantastic that Sue's quilt has found a new home. Is it as "stiff" as she said it was?
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Michele
So glad the scratchy little quilt has found a loving home. Now if he gets homesick and wants to return to Oz, tell him I've moved!!!
