Is it a no! no! to ask what the prizes are in the big quilt shows?
Just curious.

I only ever won one 1st Prize, and the memory is very precious. My older son was 5 years old and everybody had to dress up for a special party at his pre-school group. Unfortunately there are no pictures. He looked adorable in green tights (borrowed from a neighbour's daughter) and a brown tabard as Robin Hood. I didn't look bad either as his Maid Marian, in a floor-length dark burgundy dress and a sort of mediaval head thing created from an old Nottingham lace table cloth. And what was the 1st Prize? We got a little bag of smarties each.
Back to the main subject: Betty Jo, I'm sure you'll get that ribbon sooner than you think!
And may I remind you all that Ricky financed part of his Harley with the cash prize from one of the big shows.From the edge of Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood

Thank you ladies, it's nice to know what the prizes are.
I think the winners deserve every penny the quilts are fabulous, the ones from Judy Woodworth and Susan Stewart are unbelievable, how I would love to be able to see them but as I live in the UK not much chance I'm afraid.
One other thing I wonder how much those quilts weigh????
Happy quilting
