I won a ribbon!
I was stunned that I won a ribbon for this little quilt. I woke up at 5
last Saturday. We were taking in quilts for the show for this weekend and I knew I was going to be stressed and I fell awake waaaaay too early. It's not like me to start sewing that early. I've stayed up that late sewing, but I am NOT a morning person. Anyway, for some reason, this quilt was calling me. I started it a year ago and had yet to sew the binding on. So I got it out and finished it. We took in quilts from 9 till 3 and had 169 quilts. I entered all the information as we went along. Got behind because people WOULD not quit talking to me :-), and ended up lugging 35 quilts home with me because I couldn't remove the paperwork from the quilt. Got done entering all that information into Access on Saturday night. I spent all day Sunday ( my birthday!) merging the information into a Word document, and cutting and pasting it into a Publisher document because that's what the printer people insist on. Had it to the printers by noon on Monday (that was the stress part). They finished the booklet at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. Judging was on Thursday afternoon and Friday. I got to sit in and scribe for the judge for awhile. Most interesting and informative. We set up for the quilt show all day Friday - one of my favorite days of the year. I get to handle every quilt because I do the hang tags and insist on placing them myself. Our show started at 9 this morning and I was at the auditorium at 7. I finally left at 4. I found the show chair and said, "I'm tired and going home. I know everyone else is tired too, but my give-a-damner is broke, so I'm leaving." The show also runs tomorrow from 1 - 4, but there are plenty of people to help, so I won't be going in. We had a dozen vendors and I did my part to make sure they come back. Bought a couple of kits, some fabric from a woman who owns Nana's Pretties. She travels the quilt show circuit - she's from Oregon. We kept asking her via email when she said she'd like to come - you do know we are in Pittsburg KANSAS, right? People get confused. I bought one of those magnetic pincushions that somehow straightens all your pins so they lay across the little ditch and are easy to pick up. Bought a bunch of hand dyed fabric. Couple of books. Came home, ate, and slept for 3 hours. Waiting for my pills to kick in so I can go back to sleep and I am going to play all day tomorrow. Anyway, if you want to see my quilts and a couple others from the show, here's the link http://community.webshots.com/user/cindypucci They are in the Quilt Show folder. Cindy |
