Yes, that is my "Ode to Joy" quilt, front and center! ***Best of Show!!!***
This was quite a surprise! There was a lot of talent represented in this great show.
I was happy to learn that the judge recognized some of the musical references in the quilt. I heard that she even sang the tune represented by the music notes for some guild members in a walk-through Thursday night.
I had four quilts in the show, and received a couple of honorable mentions in addition to the award above.
My "New Star Rising" quilt was entered in the "First HQH Fanfare Quilt" category:
And "Pickled Leftovers" was entered in the "small, pieced" category:
I wish I had a photo of all the folks taking my photo when we arrived Saturday morning.
This was a great experience, and I appreciate all the hard work by our guild members in putting together this show.
Bravo!! It's good to see these quilts again! Each one is special in it's own way. Your work is amazing.
