A brief note

I know it's been a while, but I survived the show and it was incredible.  We made a record amount; and had a record number come thru the door.  Of course being back downtown in our hometown, on the beautiful waterfront, in a brand new, state of the art facility was key.   Our homecoming; after the devastation of Hurricane Charley to our little town and now our re-birth.  It was amazing!
                                                                                                                                                                          
It occurred to me, that I never posted pictures of the red/black and white quilt after I finally got it finished.   As always, Don names my quilts.  Well here it is..."Bye Bye Blackbird"                                            
As you can see it won a 1st place ribbon.  The Flamingos won a third, and my fishes an honorable mention.  I also received ribbons for client quilts I quilted.  In all I had a pretty good ribbon haul...2 firsts; 2 seconds; 2 thirds; and 4 honorable mentions.  Thanks to my clients for trusting your treasures to me for quilting.

The photos are all 'clickable' for larger images.







I also have received lots of postcards, both from my MQR swap and from the family swap over the last couple weeks...photos of those tomorrow.

For me, it's back to work tomorrow. Have a great night!
