I'm sooo happy!

My quilt has been accepted for the World Quilt Competition 2010! It will be shown in August in Manchester, NH and later in Philadelphia, San Francisco and Schaumburg, IL. I'm so proud...

It's a strippy quilt in two shades of light yellow. I'm not allowed to show a picture in advance - but for sure I will do it after the show!

ghostrider 06-17-2010 01:52 AM

Congratulations!! That's wonderful! :) I'm going to the Manchester show. How will I know your quilt? Can you tell us the name of it?

CAROLJ 06-17-2010 02:08 AM

I am not surprised your quilt was accepted, Your work is exquisite. Congratulations.

WOW, that's Great! Congratulations.

I know I'm going there and was wondering if it would be OK to take pictures of it? Still would like personal instruction!!! :lol: :lol:

MamaBear61 06-17-2010 03:43 AM

Congratulations, you have every right to be proud.

Borntohandquilt 06-17-2010 04:01 AM

The name of the quilt is ANGLESIT and my name is Andrea Stracke. The number they sent to me is 4505. As far as I know it's allowed to take pictures at the show, I don't have anything against it! But I'm sure they will mention it there when it should be forbidden.

GrammaNan 06-17-2010 04:02 AM

That is so exciting! I am happy for you, congratulations! I cannot wait to see a pic. I love yellow, it is my favorite color.

stitchinwitch 06-17-2010 04:17 AM

Which quilt is it of yours? Have we seen it?? A big CONGRATS to you!!!

janRN 06-17-2010 04:31 AM

Yay!! You do such fabulous work I'm not surprised yours was chosen. Good luck and let us know the outcome.

Congratulations!! That's wonderful!

feline fanatic 06-17-2010 05:08 AM

Based on the work you have shown us so far I had absolutely no doubts you would be accepted. In fact I would have been downright shocked if you had not. Congrats. Manchester is a couple of hours away from me but I may just try and make it to see your beautiful workmanship. Good luck!!

thanks!

I can probably make the Philadelphia show in September, so I'll see the winning quilts, at least :)

dkabasketlady 06-17-2010 06:04 AM

And rightly sew!!! Your quilts are exquisite!!! I handquilt, but have never attempted to do a wholecloth let alone make the design myself.
Yours will definitely be a WINNER!!! Keep us posted! Congratulations!

kathy 06-17-2010 06:58 AM

CONGRATS! so if you had already shown us the quilt would you not have been allowed to enter it?

Borntohandquilt 06-17-2010 07:15 AM

Well, as far as I know the rules for this competition are not so strict like sometimes here in Europe and the organisators don't prohibit a publication in the internet or anywhere else specifically - but I don't want to risk anything so they would have a reason disqualify me.

I don't blame you, it would be sad to be disqualified for any reason at this point. I can't wait to see it when you can post a pic.

What an honor. Congratulations.

ghostrider 06-17-2010 02:06 PM

Let us know if you would like any of us to take a picture of it hanging in a show to send to you. I have one on tour and would give anything to have a photo of it hanging on display somewhere. :( Thought maybe you might feel the same about yours?

sharon b 06-17-2010 04:14 PM

:-D It sounds like there will be several of us seeing the opening of the World Quilt Competition in Manchester. I bet you'll get photos from several of us! ;) I've noted all the info on your quilt so I don't forget (all the gorgeousness of that show always makes me forget things...like my name, where I parked, little things like that. :oops: )

Para722 06-18-2010 04:17 AM

Congratulations! I am going to that sow and I shall look up your quilt. Kathi in Mass

CoriAmD 06-18-2010 06:53 AM
