I lived for many years in Calgary Alberta, home of the largest outdoor rodeo on earth.
It attracts over a million people a year and runs for 10 days.
One year they had a contest for Wild Western Shirts.
Since I have done so many I finally got talked into entering and the following photo is of my 3rd place win.
There were 49 entries.
This is a quilting technique called flying geese and took me almost 24 hours of straight sewing to accomplish.
There is a seed bead strip down each side of the pleats and a beaded fringe around the bottom of the free hanging yoke.
