I am also trying to find a pair of concrete shoes like Janet. I got a phone call too from Houston. I was so happy I started to cry. My quilt Stanza Della Signatura won an award too. It is going to be an unbelievable time in Houston. I was just so happy to have a quilt in the show and now I am in shock that it won an award. Tim Juhl, who did the quilting, has gotten doctor approval to fly down to Houston. Some of you may recall my blog about his seizure problems. Well, he was recently diagnosed with a small brain tumor. He is doing great and they are going to keep a very close eye on things. This is going to be so fun to walk across stage with Tim and receive the award. My husband, John, was not going to go but now he is going. This was our 25th Wedding Anniversary quilt and he said he would not miss it for anything knowing how much I worked on this project. Our 26th Wedding Anniversary is tomorrow but we are going wait and celebrate our 26th in Houston on the evening of 11/2. I can't wait to meet and celebrate with all of you.
