I’m a calendar girl on my first blogiversary

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.

Surprise prize package arrives!

I got a surprise knock on the door today. It was my faithful deliveryman dropping off this package from Quilting Arts.

I know what I’ll be doing this weekend!

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.
