I thought I should share a picture of what my true love is (behind hubby, children, doggie)--NEEDLE TURN APPLIQUE. I belong to a needle arts club where I live and every year we make an "Opportunity Quilt" and sell tickets for it in order to raise operating money for our non-profit club. This is a picture of the Op Quilt for 2009. It's a pattern by Sheila Wentle (yes we received permission to use it--from her and Martingale and Company Publishers). But the best thing was, we entered it in the Pacific International Quilt Festival in Santa Clara, CA and it was juried in! Didn't win anything, but it was a great honor to hang it in the show. We have an annual Holiday Boutique the first Saturday of every November and that's when we raffle off the quilt. One of the ladies that lives here in Sun City bought ONE ticket and won it. Go figure!
