I know I have been MIA on the forum for a while! I have been spending hours upon hours working on my Hoffman Challenge. There were a lot of firsts for me with this challenge! It is my first Hoffman Challenge, it is the first time I have put a full face into a quilt, it is the first quilt I have completed with some major appliqué in it, and it is the first quilt off of my new sewing machine. And, she (my sewing machine) did wonderfully well in the last hours, under pressure, against a timeline!
Anyway, I was thrilled when the traveling/winners list was finally published and there was my name, and the fact that it won 2nd place in Mixed Technique. That's a pretty big win! You can go to the Hoffman Challenge website, and see pictures of the winners. Well, the pictures will be up in a few days, anyway. They are still working on it. I would post a picture in a heartbeat, if I could with my iPad! Hmmm...maybe I did just get it posted. We'll see.
Two other TQS members that you may know, who's quilt's also won a spot to travel, are Robin Gold, and Robin Gauseck (I may not have the second Robin's name just right.). Congratulations, both!
