Oh Wow!
November 4, 2008I’ve just had it confirmed that ‘Herd Mentality’ won the viewers choice award at the Houston Festival. I am so thrilled, thank you very much to every one who voted for me. It’s an award that means a lot to me as this is the opinion of quilters, with no agenda and who mostly have no idea who I am. I feel pretty happy that this was won by the quilt on it’s own, and to me that is the best sort of award I could ever hope for. I am celebrating with a new heat pack for me neck. It’s from John Lewis and is so good it works without me actually heating it 
I promise I will stop grinning at some point, honest. If you would like to see a picture of the quilt with it’s ribbon take a look here. I haven’t got hold of the owner of the picture yet so I can’t put it on my blog. If I do get permission I will later. Thanks again to all those who voted for it.
Oh Wow! Congratulations!
