Well, here we are at the show. Nana, me and Mum.
Here is Nana in front of her monster of a quilt. Blue ribbon for best hand applique.Makes mine look like a wallhanging!! I didn't get a pic of mum with her quilt, to busy catching up with an old friend.
And here is a pic of other people looking at my quilt. There were many comments about the quilt. Many comments about "I can't believe it didn't win a ribbon" and this was before they knew I was the maker. I am not put out about it not winning, but mum is on a mission...if it keeps her happy.
I was a bit miffed that my bag didn't pick anything up, but i guess I can put it down to the judges lack of taste perhaps?? lol.
I know I opened many peoples eyes to Crazy quilting, and I hope to continue to do that in future years and shows.

Thanks for sharing the photos with us. So nice to see you three in front of the Generation quilt.
Your Nana did a huge job!( in two ways)
well done (the jury must have been rigged! fancy you not winning) and well done to Nanna too!
hey I'll be lazy and comment here - has the demin quilt turned green or are we looking at two different potential quilts? me so confused!?!
Your quilt looks beautiful hanging in the show...and your Nana's quilt is spectacular too. It must be in your genes!
Oh, so nice to see the three of you!! What a bummer that your quilt didn't win! No taste whatsoever, I agree! Your Nana's quilt is a stunner, goodness, it's really something else... your talent is definitely inherited. Do you have a piccie of your Mum's?
It's so nice to see three wonderful generation ladies. Your quilt is beautiful!!!
Yo! Nice to see you and your kin sharing the quilting love. Your quilt looks AMAZING! And your nan's quilt also looks AMAZING.
Ohhh JO your Nana's quilt is breathtaking!!! And yes I too can't believe you didn't win something with your CQd quilt!!! And talk about family gatherings - lots to talk about I bet, much to others dismay!!!
Wow, fun blog. Great quilts, amazing. I LOVE crazy quilts, the details are wonderful. You find a cute little stitch, surprises everywhere you look. Beautiful.
Congratulations to you Jo, I would love to see your quilt in the flesh, how lucky are those people. And, congratulations to your Nan for her wonderfull effort, it's lovely for her to still be able to produce quilts this beautiful...
Jo, your quilt is so beautiful.I bet there were crowds around trying to inspect each seam. You are one busy lady. Loved the photo of the three generations.
Smiles,
Pat
Beautiful!
Very glad to see your quilt hanging at a show and being an ambassador for Cqing! I can't believe it didn't win a ribbon either! What a great experience, though, 3 generations of quilters in one show. Congrats to Nana.
Jo, I CANNOT believe your quilt did not win anything!!! What is wrong with those people??? Sheer ignorance can only explain it. That quilt is fantastic, gorgeous, amazing...need I add more adjectives??? How could someone look at that and not be moved?
Well, you win in our eyes, that's for sure.
And Nana's quilt?? OMG!!! One of the most beautiful works of art I've ever seen!
