I WON!!! I entered my "Love at Home" quilt in the Utah Quilt Guild Show for 2009 and won for "Excellence in Machine Quilting." I was so surprised and shocked and excited I got tears in my eyes and had to hurry out of there so I wouldn't cause a huge big scene. I was afraid someone would say something to me and then I'd just really fall apart. I tried to send a text to everyone I knew but that doesn't usually go very good even when I can see and don't have my glasses all fogged up with emotion. I didn't even think to take a picture of it with my phone and send that. Then later I was wishing I had taken a picture because it just didn't seem real. I worried all night that I'd told everyone and I hadn't really won. It was real. Pretty exciting.

Congrats. I think mom is very proud to have "her" quilt so decorated. What a beautiful quilt it is, too. I love the machine quilting advancement. I remember being PROUD that I hand quilted a small triangle of your wedding quilt and thinking that would be the ONLY quilt we'd ever do. Any guesses on how many you've done since '72?
