Sheesh! I never got around to updating this but I will now. After I finished my quilt I joined the local quilter's guild. I didn't feel I was really a quilter until I had at least made a quilt lol!
The quilter's guild had a local show and we were all encouraged to enter what we had made. We could opt to be judged or not and I went ahead and decided to let the judges do their worst. After all, I know I could improve and hearing the judges comments is supposed to be a good way to learn.
I was unable to attend the first day because my daughter was receiving her Bachelors degree, but we came the next day to see all the quilts. I was shocked to see my quilt had gotten a second place ribbon in my category and was given the Judges Choice award! It was an amazing weekend!
