    Congratulations, Dorothy, on your ribbon! So glad you were able to show your quilt.

    Many of the BOM quilts for The Quilt Show over the years have been award winners at lots of shows, from the very beginning. We are so fortunate to get such great designers work their magic for The Quilt Show!
    Barbara, As you know, I’m a newbie to the quilt world. If I were going to show my quilt at a show, do I need to obtain permission from Wendy Williams? Thanks, Carole B.

      Some of the big shows require designer permission, some do not. Guild shows almost never do, just require attribution of the designer if not an original design. Each show clearly explains their rules. Usually a simple email communication with the designer is sufficient to show their agreement.

        Just finished quilting my Colour My World quilt. I substituted the Rochester, MN famous locally corn cob water tower built in 1931. It is a local historically preserved landmark.

          Working on this years BOM now but changing it.
          Jilly, Be sure to post pictures of this years BOM. Would love to see them. HelenW

            The top is finally done. I am very happy with it. Not sure how i will quilt it. But at least it is done and almost flat!

              I finally got my top finished. Thank you Barbara for the wonderful teaching and thank you to everyone else, the encouragement and hints has kept me going. I've started with SITD already and spotted my (deliberate) mistake. Ah well they always have at least one.

                  460 days in the making and my wool appliqué on wholecloth linen quilt top is done! Onto the backing and then shipping off for quilting. I’ve learned so much over the past year. So glad TQS came across my Facebook feed on New Year’s Eve 2020!

                        Well I’m almost there. Just need to add my borders now. Added the following tall buildings of my own design: The Liver Building, Liverpool, UK, Burj Khalifa, Dubai, UAE and from my home town of Shrewsbury in UK, The Lord Hill’s Column. Also personalised one of the small houses to represent my home.

                          Katy, Great job on your Color My World quilt. I really like your personalized corner designs and the way you combined your
                          solid colors looks great. Are you doing Garden Party Down Under? HelenW

                            Carole B, I don't know how I missed this post. I think you made the Worlds Best first time quilt. I can't express how much I love,
                            love, love it. Every detail is so well thought out. Who says you can't teach an old dog, new tricks. I try to learn a new trick or two
                            with every quilt.You certainly learned a lot last year. Thanks for documenting the whole process you went thru. I so enjoy the posts. HelenW
                            PS Did you send a picture to Wendy Williams? She will think she created a Rock Star.

                              Thank you for the kind words, Helen. I did learn a lot—and are still learning! I’m honored to say that Wendy has also been following my progress along the way from my posts on Instagram. I recently emailed her asking permission in case I end up showing this in a quilt show at some point. Hummm. Need to follow up on that. I’m now working on a small wall hanging for my great niece for her high school graduation. Thinking of trying hand quilting this when it’s done. Here are a few blocks. It’s a Sue Spargo design. My niece loves birds and these are adorable!
