I just got home from Des Moines. The quilts were spectacular! I was so happy to meet Cathy Friday morning for a quick hug and hello. My friends and I also met Carol Moellers for breakfast and visiting Saturday morning. I was lucky enough to run into her later at the show for more chatting and picture taking with our quilts. She will be posting some photos or a Smilebox soon. The weekend was great fun and I am "done in"!

Margo, my quilt , Mutton But Letters, won Best Machine Quilting. Red Letter Daze won an honorable mention in the machine quilted wall quilts. It was a great show and the competition was pretty amazing. Anyone who had a quilt in the show should feel honored! Sorry you didn't get to go. Hope you get to make it to Houston! I'm counting the days!!

Aw thanks Ritzy - I was only joking really. I don't think I could stop quilting if I tried.

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	Janet's quilt is amazing! I was just looking at all the winners online and they are all stunning quilts. I think I will give up now. I wonder if there is a 12 step programme for recovering quilters :

lotti OFFLINE Posts: 1893 Thank you received: 309	yeah! i'm still planning on going to ireland next year - but can't make any actual bookings until (hopefully early) next year as i have to coordinate my vacation with our exhibitions and events - and much of that is still open but have tentatively put in the vacation time so nothing but reallly unmoveable things can prevent my coming over - it's high time for another vacation in ireland as well.
