The Winners!

We watched the Oscars tonight and although I didn't see most of the movies that were nominated, I still enjoyed watching. I do want to see The Social Network, The King's Speech and True Grit.

I stitched the hanging sleeve on my Shadowbox quilt that is going to "A Gathering of Quilters" quilt show next week. I've never been to this show, but it sounds like a nice one, and of course, it's always nice to see your own quilt hanging. The show is March 18-19 in Schererville, IN at The Patrician Banquet Center.

Good News x 3!

The first good news is actually a couple months old, but I don't think I posted about it.
I won a giveaway on Thelma's blog, Cupcakes 'n Daisies. It's the wonderful blog and she sure does get a lot done. She had a great tutorial for making half-square triangles. I had a bunch (160) to make for my scarp squad quilt, so I tried it out..........works like a charm and there's just those little tails to trim.




Thanks so much Thelma!


The second good news is that I won a prize in the OPAM drawing for December. There were a total of 783 finishes for December and 36 of those were mine. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the OPAM challenge and will be signing up for 2011 when they begin taking names on January 25th. Kris and Peg did a super job of organizing...........thanks so much!


The third bit of good news is the acceptance letter I received yesterday from A Gathering of Quilters 2011.
I entered my Memories of Spring Break in Hawaii quilt in this juried show and it has been accepted. I guess that means a road trip for me! The show is March 18, 19, 2011, in Shererville, IN.
