Recently I entered a quilt in The National Quilting Association in Columbus, Ohio. This is a big national quilt show-bigger than the Arizona Quilt show. I was so surprised to find out that I had won a honorable mention ribbon. I started this quilt three years ago. It is hand applique with batik fabrics on a pretty black background fabric that has rose designs through it. I had decided to do some heavy machine quilting around the applique designs using silk thread.
I had entered it in the Arizona Quilt Show in March and it did not win a ribbon I believe because of a mix up in which the quilt committee moved it to another category. The Cactus Patcher quilt group encouraged me to enter the quilt in another quilt show. I'm so glad I did. There is a lot of work in it and it appraises for $2000.00. Wow! Here are some links where my name is mentioned.
