Blue Ribbon, "FAVORITE" and $50!

All in all, a pretty good night. They did just vote for the favorite. I got $50, second place got a book, and third got announced and then they realized they didn't have a prize for her-- so she got a hug.

I do love belonging to my quilt guild. They've taught me so many things. There are a lot of very talented women in our group who encourage the rest of us and share lots of experience and knowledge.... and it's just a lot of fun and laughs when we all get together.

Shiny and Bright

I think I'm done. I love it! And tonight is the unveiling. This was for our quilt guild challenge 2009. We were to make a quilt one half meter by two meters. Tonight is our annual Christmas party and deadline for this year's challenge quilts. It's a contest, sort of. They try to come up with enough categories so everyone wins something just for making a quilt.

It's kind of crazy the way things come out and what makes you do them. I couldn't figure out what I'd do with a quilt that was only half a meter wide. This is going to be a Christmas decoration and I'm going to hang it on my door....
