A wonderful surprise

I submitted a quilt in the MQX Quilt Festival

and it was excepted.

Boxed it all up and sent it away, all the way to Springfield, IL.

I wanted to attend the show, not because of my quilt,

but because I wanted to take a few classes.

I couldn't work it out this year, maybe next year.

 

( thank you Sue http://seaminglyslawsonquilts.blogspot.com/ for taking this awesome picture at the MQToday show

 

My quilt didn't place, but look

what was in the box when I opened it.

 

 A RIBBON!!!!

 

A Faculty Ribbon!!

I am so honored to have my quilt chosen

by a member of the faculty.

It was a total surprise. 

 

I feel so honored to have a quilt in a show with

Karen Marchetti, Gina Perks and Margaret Soloman Gunn,

to name just a few.

I have been a follower of theirs for a long time.

Thank you ladies for sharing and encouraging.

 

Still have the memory quilt on the frame,

I haven't been able to work on it very much this week.

 

 

 

 

 

I did start piecing a winter quilt.  Working on the applique,

 everything else is finished.  Although I am thinking of adding another

 row at the bottom and top to make it a little longer (we're

tall people).

 

 

Thanks for stopping by.
