She won a Ribbon!

Congratulations to all the Fiber Art Society ladies

who were involved in this collaboration.

At the 2011 Corpus Christi quilt show

we were awarded an Honorable Mention

for our 'Exquisite Lady'.

Here it is at the show,

with the HM ribbon.

When I first came up with the idea

of doing a collaboration quilt,

about a dozen ladies

 wanted in on the challenge.

It was done like the old parlor game called

'exquisite corpse'.

Each person created a different part

of the chosen design,

without seeing the other parts

in the process.
Each used their own fabric
and embellishments.

This type of work

was the first for many of those involved,
and some were very hesitant in the beginning.
BUT...

Everyone did great!

Laura did a wonderful job

creating the life size pattern
from the Gustav Klimt print
Donna con Ventigliano.
She also constructed the quilt
after we were all finished with our blocks.

I think everyone is pleased
with the results of this project.

Now, at the next meeting
we will discuss
what will happen to this quilt.

This project was dedicated to
our dear friend Darlene,
who did get to see it almost finished
before she passed away from cancer.

Job well done ladies!

Savor the Day!
