Guess what? My quilt won its class!

Congratulations! Is there a photo posted already that I missed? You should take your prize money and put it toward something quilty that you've especially been coveting! I know what you mean about being tickled with the win. And you should be really *proud* of that quilt.

Fantabulous! Congrats on a job well done.

I shall just repeat my 'Told you so'! ;)

I'm very glad you won, and got the recognition you deserve. I'll get Alan to post up the blue quilt pix. Have you taken pictures with the certificates/rosettes/ribbons, or whatever they put on them?

WOW!!!!!! *Huge* congratulations on both counts! :D

Happy, happy dancing for you with all the gators in the Swamp; and uh-one and uh-two. YeeeHa Polly

You deserve to be as thrilled and proud as you can possibly manage! Good on you!

I am ridiculously proud of my little self. I am all cheesy grins and wriggles.

I know it's only a little local Craft Show, not a dedicated Quilting Expo, but I still hardly dared think I was good enough.

I am particularly pleased that the other entered quilts were of a good calibre too. It really feel like I have done something good. I went to the Preview and Prizegiving this evening and I was presented with my prizes: £40. Like, wow! Mega-bucks! More than I have ever won in my life. But more than the money, I know that my quilts will be on show with an orange flash for all to see over the long weekend. My heart is singing.

All that work seems now to be worthwhile and my decision to unpick and redo the centre of the Hilton justified. Thanks to all for your encouragement. This means a great deal to me and my rather fragile self-esteem.

Oh, and I did the 'right thing' and acknowledged the pattern's pedigree.

Nel, I've seen the photo and agree with the judges. Lovely quilt. Congrats, Pat in Virginia

Congratulations! Enjoy the accolades. I just found out this morning I have won the Challenge award at the local agricultural show, home & crafts section with my butterfly wallhanging (some of you have seen it on my webshots page). Woo hoo too! Now I have to decide whether to go to the Show and see the blue rosette. Parking is *so* difficult there, I had not planned to attend. Plus, the weather is fine and hot (unusual for late winter) so the crowds will be huge. Cheers Bronnie

congratulations, I'm so happy for you!!!! You must be flying high after that! Donna

Oh, well done!

Go early in the day, beat the rush, but do go.

Well done, Nel. That's wonderful. Of course you're proud. Hope you can enjoy revelling in the excitement, and then the afterglow - that can go on for weeks if you let it! Congratulations on 'sweeping the board'. I hope the organisers have contacted the local paper >gNot only that, I came second, too. Out of a class of about ten, the

Congratulations, Bronnie, that's great news!

Yes, do go and see, if you can. I felt so good seeing mine there, in situ, even though it's kinda squashed and wrinkled the way they have displayed it. It is in a church and they put it between two windows on a pole which is governed by the gap between two memorials. But that doesn't matter. It's there, and in the catalogue.

I shan't stand around waiting to hear if hoy polloi say anything nice, though. Eavesdroppers never hear any good of themselves.

I didn't get a rosette or ribbons (I suppose I could buy one... where and what colour?) but it gets an orange cardboard flash with 1st written on it. But it's the honour, isn't it? Someone else likes what I have done and rates it.

I'm bouncing like tigger. Out of all proprortion to the facts.

Thanks, everyone, for the happy dancing!

There are photos of both quilts at

Congratulations to you, too, Bronnie! That's great! I don't know if I could resist seeing a quilt of mine hanging with a blue ribbon.
