Morning Ramble - 8-17-2024

Talking about my experience as a quilt show judge.

[@4GiveN4get]

Good morning, Beautiful. You are chosen as a quilt judge for your experienced wisdom; and in that capacity we depend on your critique of our flaws, to help us improve our skills. Please do not apologize for being a good judge, as we depend on you, in order to present better in the next show. Looking forward to your upcoming magic binding, tutorial. You are a creative and generous teacher. Thank you for sharing your talents.

Well that was really nice. I didn’t really leave many negative comments. And I am sure I could have done a better job on the ribbons. It was overwhelming.

I feel you are at expert level. I have watched you over the years get better and better and your talent is amazing.

Your whole quilt is great! I've had a whole cloth of the Dignity statue bouncing around in my brain for a couple years ... maybe this winter? Flange binding is fiddly to make (sewing those two looooong strips together) but the pop of color is fun. (and it's way faster than hand sewing 😉)

[@dclutterquilting]

Yes it is fussy! You should defiantly do the dignity statue!

I love the whole cloth ! I have never entered a quilt , but I love viewing them at shows. Judging would be very difficult!

[@dclutterquilting]

Thanks I think it turned out well. I keep going over in my head all the things I could do better with the judging!

Amazing what you can do with your long arm machine!! I love all your videos even thought I am a super newbie!!

[@dclutterquilting]

You are doing good Nancy!

[@theresamccloud6024]

An extremely talented woman! Hugs Nats :)

Thanks Nats!

You were chosen to be a judge because you are very talented, do exquisite work and you tell it like it is! I do agree with you though that after you look at quilt after quilt after quilt, they all sort of run together--even going and looking at the shows, I feel that way. I love your whole cloth quilt. I have seen people use Inktense pens to 'color' their quilt projects, could you use something like that to cover up the ink spot?

[@dclutterquilting]

Well that is very nice to say! Thank you for the vote of confidence!
