Bluebird of Happiness

Mid-Atlantic Quilt Show 2009, Hampton,VA


Vicki and Kim attended the show yesterday and were kind enough to email me and send me photos of Bluebird of Happiness. You can see a few more photos on their blogs, Field Trips in Fiber and Cotton Creek Sewing.

I won Best of Show. I actually found out earlier yesterday, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise for them actually getting to see it live. I was surprised and am very happy. All that hard work paid off!

Parting Shot: R&D. Yes, I'm planning another art garment and doing some research and development! I need to get the Rabbit family and Barcelona Beauty finished first, so look for another series to start sometime in late March.
