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.
