I’m so excited!

Our local quilt show opened today and will be open through Sunday. This year’s show judge was really good to me, as I won three ribbons! Wow! I’m thrilled! Here are my “babies” with their fancy additions:

Some time ago I made a Baravelle Spiral quilt from a pattern designed by a very good online friend, Pat Storey. Her book is Geometrical Quilts. I used her pattern to make a quilt for our guild challenge that year; we had to use specific black and white prints, as well as any other blacks and whites and only one other color. We also had to add beading. This is what I made, and it took a third place ribbon in our show! 🙂

My miniature Trip Around the World (about 21″ square) is next on the list. I made this one after a very good friend gave me a set of strips of batiks. I love the colors in it, and apparently the judge didn’t hate them, as she awarded it a second place ribbon. 🙂

Last, but best of all, is my Winding Ways quilt. I’ve been waiting for the show so as to hope for the chance to take a photo of the whole finished quilt (remember this post?). I certainly had my chance today, as one of our members who was acting as a white-glove lady kindly held some other quilts out of the way while I snapped a quick photo. You can just barely see the edge of the first-place ribbon that’s hanging with this one! I’m so pleased, especially since my friend Gerda did such a great job of quilting this big quilt for me. 😀
