Everyone's a winner.............

 Remember Amy's Blogger quilt festival?

Well, I got up this morning to find out I had won a $50 gift voucher from the Old Red Barn Company , one of Amy's sponsors for the festival - this appears to be a company specialising in hand-made soaps and scrubs so I should be smelling rather luscious for some time to come..............

 Back in April I posted pics of the Open Night for my classes - I do this every year to exhibit all the lovely work completed by ladies who attend  my classes and workshops. I featured Margaret's wallhanging - this was her interpretation of the class project, Cabin in the Woods, and was stunnimg. That was not just my opinion, it won the Viewer's Choice on the evening.

Following my post, someone wrote to me (sorry can't recall who that was) to alert me to a quilt competition in Coast magazine. As Margaret's piece depicted such super seaside images, it seemed like a great idea for her to enter. And one of the judges was to be Sheena Norquay, so definitely a prestigious competition.
Well, the months have rolled by and finally Margaret has discovered by digging thro a tricky website, that her quilt was short-listed. If you go here, you will see the winner, and the short listed pieces, and I am sure you will agree her quilt stands proudly amongst the others, I am so pleased that she entered, she is a very talented quilter.
