I'm floating on a quilty cloud but here's a quick late night post to share with you my dear friends in stitching.
I've been honoured and humbled by the awards from the Sydney quilt show today. I can't think of words to describe my absolute joy and thrill at wining so many accolades from my peers and fellow lovers of quilts. My quilt was very decorated by the six ribbons. Whoooo, Hoooo!!
Hangers prize, Judges choice, 1st traditional hand quilted (amateur), the Narelle Grieve award for excellence in hand quilting for which I have a trophy for. Best of Show.
I'm afraid I only had my phone and little point and shoot to take pics so I'll have to go back on Saturday for better photos.
Many many thanks for the encouragement and for cheering me on from you all and I sincerely mean that from deep in my heart!!
I'll be back when I've come back to earth and had some sleep.
Love Janet

I'm only surprised there were only 6 ribbons....this may be THE most stunning quilt I've seen in my 60 years. I've been a hand-quilter since 1976 but have recently been trying to perfect my fmq'ing skills. Still not like handwork but I'm afraid I'll not have enough time to finish things if I don't machine quilt. Thank you for the inspiration..so glad I found your blog. I look forward to searching the archives. Blessings...Kathy in WV

OHMYGOSH Janet!!! I was just wondering why I haven't seen any posts from you in awhile and I've popped over to find this fabulous news! (I'm thinking maybe feedly isn't my friend -- how did I miss this post???)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! How very exciting. And VERY well deserved! I only wish I could see your quilt in person -- it's Gorgeous!!!!
Dear Janet, those ribbons were well deserved. It is a masterpiece.
I am wondering if you are at all aware of Esther Aliu's re-make of a 1790 quilt that she will be offering as a BOM. I have thought of you but didn't know if you were interested in it or even aware of it.
http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.ca/2013/06/picking-over-pattern.html
I am not surprised you captured all of those awards. This is one of the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen.
Congratulations!
