I can also create a custom pillow out of your ribbons (below).

The following are excerpts from the Testimonials link:

“My daughter now has her memories on the wall, not in a box, where she can look and remember all those great times she had in the show ring. As a mother, every one of those ribbons represent time spent with my daughter that I may not have had. As I look at the quilt and she leaves for college, I will remember fondly every moment spent with here and the memories that we made that will live on forever.”

“It brings back memories of watching the school clock, only to race out to the stable after school and ride to sunset. Or, the long, lazy days where we rode at any chance we could get, trained for shows like Olympians, and just spending quiet times with the horses.”

“What a wonderful way to preserve such wonderful memories! Just looking at the quilt reminds us of the long hours you put into training and the long hours we put into ring-side, cheering, nail-biting, and just being proud of our daughter, no matter what the award!”

"I absolutely love my ribbon pillow! The quality is outstanding. My pillow was a first for Diana, as I had wanted her to add a few rosettes to it. She was skeptical, but came up with some amazing ideas for it. This was a truly unique gift for my best friend, but I will definitely be back to have one made for myself."

Photos can also be included in the design.

Each ribbon unit is supported with a foundation fabric to add stability to your lasting heirloom before the backing and binding are added.

Your quilt is backed and bound in blue bridal satin. A 4-inch pocket is sewn onto the back (which is also made of the blue satin) which allows it to be hung as soon as it arrives.

Each quilt is delivered with a custom designed embroidered applique with the owner's name, horse's name, and year of the quilt's creation. An additional label can be made with a gift giver's name and small message.

Using several different decorative stitches, each ribbon edge is sewn through the foundation fabric. These golden stitches add embellishment as well as stabilizaton to your heirloom quilt.

The quilt is finished with ties at each corner using gold embroidery floss. The completed quilt is made as a Victorian "Crazy Quilt" which featured beautiful fabrics, decorative stitches and tied through the layers of fabric.

In my studio, I have a quilting machine where I can quilt through the top, back, and a layer of batting with a golden stitch in a design all over the quilt top. This can be done instead of the "Victorian Crazy Quilt" method with stitches along each ribbon and tied through the front and back with embroidery floss.

The ribbons are beautiful and speak for themselves.

Rosettes can be stitched on top of the quilt by hand if you indicate that.
