i Quilt - Best in Show!!!
The judges selected my quilt for Best in Show! I still can hardly believe it. With tears in my eyes, and a knot the size of Mt. Olympus in my stomach, I approached the stage on wobbly legs to shake Jacquie Gering's hand, get a big hug and accept the award! What a tremendous honor!!
It's like going from zero to 80 in a nanosecond....or as the little pig says, "Pure Adrenaline"! Ha!
It is a bit overwhelming, but in a very good way.
I met the sponsors of the prize,
Gammill Quilting Machines, to whom I owe a great thanks! And, truthfully, I am still floating on air.
My quilt was also featured in an
interview about QuiltCon on Houzz.com, which showed many of the quilts, a fantastic story! It is an honor to be included in such an esteemed group of quilt makers!
One of my favorite photos of the experience:
