Oh my!
January 18, 2008
Well what can I say. I’ve just got some Internet access back and the first thing I find is these pictures. Thank you to Linda Card for taking these for me. Without her I wouldn’t have had a clue.
I have to admit that when I saw an email congratulating me I thought the person was mistaken. I had been asking for pictures of these hanging at Road 2 California, just after someone else mentioned winning. So I could see how it could happen. So I went and had a look for pictures…
The rest I think you can see. I was stunned by ‘Nude with Rope’ getting an award (which I think is a second place) but then seeing a ribbon on ‘Guide Me’ I just didn’t believe. Still other people can see the ribbons in these pictures so I will assume they really did get the awards.
Thrilled doesn’t cut it. I cannot say how pleased I am to have collected my first American ribbons. I guess I have top try and build on it now. I have realised I can’t enter ‘Nude with Rope’ to Houston next year, I have already committed it to other shows, maybe ‘Guide Me’ will get to travel some more.
I will also be interested to see what the appraisal says for these two. They are the first quilts I have had the chance to have appraised, so I have no idea what to expect. I assume that getting awards can only help right?
Now I think I am calm enough to have some dinner and relax.
Hurrah! Well done!
Very well deserved!
Have you had any champagne? You should!

Congratulations! Well deserved!
Congratulations, I’m sure these are the first of many US show ribbons. You certainly do deserve them!
Congratulations!
Thanks guys, somehow I still don’t quite believe it. It just seems so unreal. I am thrilled though.
Now I’ve got to check that the show I was planning on sending Nude to doesn’t have a problem with nudes
Yeah! Happy Dance! Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Nude With a Rope is beautiful!

Well done! I am happy for you.
