Ricky's first quilt still way beats my first quilt! The quilt below it is amazing!

I love his quilts and have made a kaleidscope quilt( I still need to quilt it) as well as a series of the Convergence quilts. I have his Rhapsody Quilts book and would love to take a course from him. His DVD's are well done. When one sees the beautiful intricate work that he does, its hard to imagine that he hasn't always made complicated patterns. One of my favorite quilts is the Heart Beat Quilt he made after his heart attack. It must have been inspiring to see his work and to hear him speak about his process. Thanks for sharing your experience.<BR/>Regards,<BR/>Annaquiltmom annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976120921532056369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564554438273632665.post-67977884444769354282008-05-14T18:51:00.000-04:002008-05-14T18:51:00.000-04:00I'm glad you shared your thoughts with us.

When I see one that really catches my eye, I stop and look more closely at it. The one's that I seem drawn too are usually not perfect. I like a few mistakes, it make the quilter more human/normal to me.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15034140389512757493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564554438273632665.post-8992798771389607542008-05-13T21:42:00.000-04:002008-05-13T21:42:00.000-04:00I agree with you wholeheartedly on the showing of ...I agree with you wholeheartedly on the showing of first quilts. QN had a great article several years ago about how far quilters have come from their first quilts. It was so interesting to see their progress over the years. It gives us all hope when we view their first samplers to their eventual masterpieces!!!!Needled Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749314475716010490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564554438273632665.post-56853457103512752632008-05-13T17:14:00.000-04:002008-05-13T17:14:00.000-04:00I gladly show my first quilt to people when they c...I gladly show my first quilt to people when they come to visit. I guess it's because it's made with New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox fabric. Everyone had to start sometime.

I agree with you that it is so special of Ricky to show his first and really his first quilt with mistakes and all that comes with the first quilt a person makes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12891803528855597132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564554438273632665.post-68739541839714311232008-05-13T15:02:00.000-04:002008-05-13T15:02:00.000-04:00Thank you so much for sharing a picture of Rick Ti...Thank you so much for sharing a picture of Rick Tims's first quilt. So often we think of well-known and prolific quilters as just that -- and forgetting that they, too, had to had to start somewhere. He is proud of his beginnings and so should we be proud of ours. It is also exciting to see how far we, as quilters, have come, as time passes and we look at our work product today and compare it to our beginnings. Let us not forget, also, that no matter how great a quilter we may become -- no one is perfect and there is always room to learn more -- and that, too, is just fine.

While I can certainly appreciate the time, effort and skill that goes into their making - at the end of the day my favorites are usually the humble, sometimes a little crooked, every day, useful quilts that I can cuddle under *s*Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872055894285312153noreply@blogger.com
