Today is my one year anniversary of starting my blog! I can’t believe I wrote 180 posts in that time.
Today is also the first day of May, so thousands of people around the world are changing the page on their 2011 Quilting Arts calendar and seeing my “Strawberry Delight” quilt. (Unless, of course, they’re like me, and they forget to turn the page until half way through the month!)
I’m always a bit surprised at how far in advance publishers need to be working. For instance, I entered this contest in February 2010, and found out in May 2010 [ ... ]

I got a surprise knock on the door today. It was my faithful deliveryman dropping off this package from Quilting Arts. It’s the prize package that I won when they chose my quilt, “Strawberry Delight,” for the 2011 Quilting Arts calendar. How exciting!
There was Jane Dunnewold’s “Art Cloth” which was on my Amazon wish list; the newest “Studio” magazine that I had not ordered yet; a slew of DVDs; even some fabric, batting, and angelina fibers. I know what I’ll be doing this weekend!

I just noticed that the 2011 Quilting Arts Calendar is now available on the Interweave website. I think my quilt will be for the month of May.

Just found out that “Strawberry Delight” was chosen to be included in the 2011 Quilting Arts calendar. The theme of the contest was “Flavor of the Month” which made me think of the pictures I had taken of some little kids eating ice cream. I used a modified version my “Making Faces” technique to convert the photo into fabric.
