First of all, I have to eat my words. Referring back to October and the whim that led me to enter a quilt into the Road to California show, a few days after I’d sent in that entry, I also was notified that the AQS show in Paducah was also looking for quilts. In for a penny, in for a pound, right? So I sent off my entry (the same quilt) with a giggle and without any real expectations. However, I’ve now been notified that my quilt was accepted there, too! In PADUCAH. OMG! So, despite saying I’d probably never send a quilt away again, it will be traveling as soon as our local show is finished at the end of next week. Again, I don’t imagine it will win any ribbons, but just to be accepted is such an honor that I can hardly believe it. I’m still floating on air …

I'm a retired high school French teacher from Arizona, now living in the Las Vegas area. I loved teaching French, but I love retirement even more! I'm a quilter, and most of what you see here will be about quilting, though I've also taken up knitting, and I love to bake. :)

Congratulations on such an honor!! Very impressive! I wish I could go see it at Paducah…as well as all the other fabulous things to see and do at the show!
Thanks, Kim! And, believe me, I wish I could go see it, too! Unfortunately, it’s too far away from here for a quick trip, so I’ll just have to hope someone can send me a photo. 🙂
