Do you know someone who quilts?

I would ask her if she really, really wanted to display them.

We hung winning ribbons on the back of bedroom doors so they were rarely seen. Even the 'winners' grew tired of them and they sat in a drawer for years, kept a few, trashed the rest.

Or:

Equestrians often hang their ribbons on a piece of string.

Google "Show ribbon display ideas". there are some really great ideas.

OMG!!! Her PO mentioned making them into a quilt. I thought she was joking! I don't quilt. Judging from the crispness of the ribbons, it would have to be a wall quilt. I'm not sure I'm up to that project, but I'll show it to DD . . . who doesn't quilt either (LOL). Still, whoever those owners/breeders/ dogs are/were, those are all major accomplishment in the dog show world!

If the ribbons mean a lot to you or your daughter then you should do a nice display. But don't feel a sense of guilt if you'd rather put them in a box and store them away. They aren't part of your personal history with the dog, they are someone else's memories. The dog doesn't care about them :)

We occasionally discuss on here people's guilt and feelings of responsibility about hand me downs that they feel no connection with. To me, the ribbons may fall into the same category.

That's good advice, D_gw. Thank you. You're right about that. The days of India The Champion Show Dog are over. We never had anything to do with that part of her life. I do know that I'm not up for making a quilt, although they look lovely. I'll pass along all these ideas to DD and let her decide.

I like the idea of putting them in a nice glass jar too. Not quite storage, but doesn't take up a lot of space, or skill, either.

Send them out to be quilted. (We had a local person do a t-shirt quilt for our teacher's baby, so cute..) Then hang the quilt over Indy's bed. Since it won't be in use, the rosettes will be a nice accent or corner pieces. Love the Pinterest quilt!

I don't have anything new to add, but India is a cutie!

You could hang the ones with rosettes in the laundry room - on a string, ribbon or wire. The rest I would put in a box.

*edited to add: just found this semi-cute wreath. I wouldn't use any of the better ones with rosettes though.

Weave/braid them into a collar and leash!

Wow! She was quite a champion. I really like the framed ones Tibb posted, but would probably only do one of those and store the other ribbons or toss them.

Wow! I bet all those ribbons weigh more than India does!!

Do memory books. Like we have for babies and kids. Then the book can sit out for viewing should she want to show them. You can fit several per page. You can even use a photo album book. Or a simple 3 ring binder with clear document holder holding the ribbons. That's what I did with my coloring pages.
