Disqualified from Machine Quilters Exposition 2012 for using metallic thread in the bobbin =)
Pinned to the design wall - in a conference room at a Blythe CA hotel where my family regularly had quilting retreats
The back - submitted separately from the front to two different quilt show juries - and both the front and back were accepted both times! I had to apologize twice... then when I said "Let's go with the front", one of the shows disqualified the quilt because I used metallic thread on the back - it's okay, I deserved it
Mia helping me evaluate and plan the quilting and metallic bobbin thread choices
Quilting and turned-edge machine applique detail
Mia likes the front too!
