Some loved a quilt, and another judge would hate it. So I found that if I make a quilt that I love, most people will love it also. But it still may not do well. It depends on what other quilts you are up against also. I didn't win on one of my quilts, but it sold in that show. I made more than the best of show prize! So who won?! Do you really need a ribbon to justify your work? No. Love it. Piccaso rarely sold anything and look at the regard of his work now!Patty Ashworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641411958788168424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741060306812957345.post-21746519534238780132010-09-28T20:45:16.865+10:002010-09-28T20:45:16.865+10:00ik ben helemaal weg van je quilt van het blad. tro...ik ben helemaal weg van je quilt van het blad. trok meteen m'n aandacht. heb je ook te horen gekregen waaróm ze 't niet goed (genoeg) vonden? de kleurovergangen zijn prachtig. handgeverfd neem ik aan?Cobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564673674300785857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741060306812957345.post-47549929967756838462010-09-28T16:20:36.068+10:002010-09-28T16:20:36.068+10:00Those gymnast quilts are awesome, I really love th...Those gymnast quilts are awesome, I really love them.

So glad for you...I feel the ache/pain of rejection!<br />So glad for you that you had the huge success of a sale soon after.<br />And I admire your attitude. How well we know judges are so arbitrary...and yes, there will be some who like your work and it will receive the kudos it richly deserves.<br />I like that leaf quilt very much. I look forward to opening all the doors. Who's next? When am I to choose a challenge?Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741060306812957345.post-66863094476508016182010-09-25T17:16:01.821+10:002010-09-25T17:16:01.821+10:00Linda, als nuchtere Hollander steek je toch gewoon...Linda, als nuchtere Hollander steek je toch gewoon je middelvinger op, niet waar de kinderen bij zijn, je quilt er erg mooi.
