Dorothy

Thank you for posting them again, quilts to die for xx

Awesome news, Renata and Dawn!!!! I'm doing the happy dance for you both! Congratulations! Well done!!!

Congratulation on the wins Renata and Dawn !! Thanks for the repost on the pics ....so nice to see them again !!

Wow, Renata! I love that close up! The detail is exquisite! Such tiny circles and squares. Absolutely beautiful! First place well deserved!

And, thank you all, from me, too! I will admit, I could hardly hold it together when I called my DH to share the good news. This is such an honor! And, as Rosemary requested... a reposting of photos.... (Clear, not blurry!)





Dawn

Thank you everyone! Like Dawn, I am over the moon happy (and a bit flabbergasted) with the judges' decision. Many of you saw me start my quilting journey on the pages of this Forum just a few years ago when I was too afraid to even try to FMQ and many of you gave me a lot of advice and help along the way... so the best I was hoping for was for my quilt to be accepted to travel. This was a total surprise!

Thanks, Kathy, for posting the Hoffman Challenge Facebook URL with photos of all the winning quilts. I think they took the photos of the first place winners and enlarged them, leaving them a bit blurry and not showing some of the detail. Rosemary, I'm reposting my photos here so you can see them without scouring through this topic (even I don't remember what page my photos are on...). Sorry I don't know how to make these photos smaller when "inserted."

Hoffman's Facebook page posted photos of the winners. The photos are rather small, but you can see the competitors in the groups:

Congratulations to Dawn and Renata!

Kathy

Congratulations to the both of you - Dawn and Renata. Can you post pictures or do we have to go hunting elsewhere to see them?

Getting excited about going to the FoQ tomorrow, just made lunch and should be packing my bag and organising my clothes for an early start.

Renata and Dawn,
Congratulations.

Congratulations to you both - Dawn and Renata - you must be both overjoyed I'm delighted for you both. So exciting.
Love Pam (in Scotland)

Congratulations Ladies!
Soooooooo happy for you!

Congratulations Dawn and Renata!

What wonderful news -

I've been busy but lurking without comment for a while now. I think it has something to do with 4 grandsons arriving within the last 12 months.
One is now walking, one is crawling, one is just sitting, and one has just rolled over! Whew! Hard to keep up-to-date!

Yes, I've done a few quilts, and will try to get some pics up.

Glad to see the virtual retreat is going strong. I was at a real quilt retreat last week, and it was marvelous!

Hugs to everyone, although I don't really think I am up-to-date on everyone, everything I've seen here is good!

No! Fantastic so excited for you both, what great news

Just wanted to share this! BOTH Renata and I got a FIRST PLACE in our categories in the Hoffman Challenge! What are the chances of that? We are still on cloud nine, over the moon, and pinching ourselves!

Dawn
