    IQF Day 3

    Ahhh! A day to “relax!” Today was my day to see the show…not that anyone could possibly see it in just one day! I spent the morning shopping. Here is the first interesting thing I bought. It’s the CD of the winning quilts. Look in the lower left hand corner! I also bought a copy…

  • IQF Day 2

    IQF Day 2

    Today’s first event was the IQA Luncheon. The top eight award winners had the dubious honor of sitting on the stage while we ate. Afterwards, we each had to get up and make a short speech. I never did hear how long it was supposed to be until we were being introduced. For those who…

    Today sweet hubby and I made our way to Houston, Texas today so we could attend the awards celebration for the International Quilt Festival.

  • Getting a quilt appraised

    Getting a quilt appraised

    Today DH and I took a little road trip so we could get “Windblown” appraised. Many quilters I know have never had their quilts appraised, but after more than twelve years of maintaining the Lost Quilt Come Home website, I am fully convinced of the necessity of doing this, especially for any quilt that will…

  • Mission accomplished!

    Mission accomplished!

    Yesterday was my favorite kind of day. Other than the obligatory walk (a whole three buildings away) to get the required celebratory Blizzard (LOL! Of course, it goes without saying that finding out that both “Windblown” and “Embrace 1” were accepted into the Houston show definitely added to it being a favorite kind of day…

    Happy dance for “Windblown” and “Embrace 1”

    Woohoo! Today is a happy day! I just received notification that “Windblown” and “Embrace 1” have been selected as finalists for the 2011 International Quilt Festival in Houston. If I do nothing else during the year, this is the one show I always try to enter, so I’m very excited about this! This is the…

    SAQA Parlour Meeting

    Today was another SAQA Parlour Meeting for the Southwest and Central Ohio regions. Sixteen quilters in our area gathered together to exchange ideas and to share what they’ve been working on. I had the opportunity to show “Windblown.” Show and Tell is always my favorite time of any gathering, and today was no exception! Here…
