A Ribbon!


Plaids Stripes & Polka Dots  2011
By Victoria Findlay Wolfe
Quilted by Angela Walters

I'm Back from Ohio! Exhausted, but so happy to be home. I picked my mother up at the airport last night, and she had  my ribbon from the Minnesota Quilt Show!  My Plaid Stripes & Polka Dot quilt was given a ribbon as a faculty choice, from Jane Sassaman. Thank you Jane!


More pics to come, below is one shot of the NYC MOD exhibit at the NQA show.


We stopped on our way home to say HI to a long time blog friend, whom we finally got to meet face to face! Can you guess who it is from this picture?

Off to sew!!

    Your quilt is very fresh and original, yet it speaks to tradition as well....a real winner, for sure. I love the dots, of course, but I am simply blown away by the "rickrack" border. So glad your unique talent is recognized.

    What a wonderful quilt!! Congrats on the ribbon! I love the colors, the fabrics, the lay out & that big rick rack looking border is fabulous! Did you use all quilting cottons? Or did you use shirting material? I love plaids! Congrats again & p.s. your hydrangeas are gorgeous! I struggle with mine in CA. :(
