eileenkny OFFLINE Posts: 1958 Thank you received: 124	This is awesome! It just goes to show that there are people out there who realize the truth-quilts are art. Hopefully, as news of this win spreads, more venues will be willing to exhibit fiber art. Congratulations to Patt Blair!!

By the way, if a ever win the lottery (or find that billionaire who likes classical music and big women with attitude) I'll treat your chickens to a 5-star henhouse.

Hello Marilyn, had the flu, then managed to recover just enough to go on our company outing... Went to Tuscany (based in Lido di Camaiore which is next to Viareggio, with outing to Florence & Pisa) with136 people. My colleague and I organized it all, so we're rather hopping before and during. Was great fun and everyone enjoyed it. Hope it won't be another 9 years till our next 4-day weekend outing...
Have been trying to catch up on the forum, now only the blogs to go... And of course work to catch up on too... Only a month and a bit till our largest exhibition. And someone informed me that I have to hand in our 2014 marketing budget by the 24th of this month... Hmmmmmm
C'est la vie! But I spent today sewing. Yeah
