Winner

Well, now I am a winner :) third place in the category of pictorial  in the QLD quilt competition.  I had nerves, and well I wanted to come first :) who doesn't. It was great though, this one won..


So that was a surprise, I am always so hard on myself and look at the quilt and pick all the things wrong with it. But they must not have seen all the mistakes :).

I finished this mammoth thing for a client..




She liked it and was very happy, so that is great. I am not doing a big quilt for a verrrrrry long time. :) This is what my bobbin case looked like after two weeks of doing this big quilt. I cleaned it before I started so it was clean :)
Gross isn't it :)
Oh I had my class, I had bought fabric that I thought was the same as what I had bought previously but it wasn't and when everyone painted on it, the fabric bled and looked faded and bad. It really made me cranky. I should have tested the fabric. It was a tester for me so I have to expect mistakes. It was fun though.

Now I have to plan out what I am doing next. When I did dyeing yesterday at my class I remembered how much fun it was and want to do some more of that, but I also love love love painting on fabric so I want to do that too. I am sure I can fit it all in.
Off to the craft fair tomorrow, sooooo excited. Can't wait to see all sorts of fun crafty stuff.
