Early this year, Dunster very graciously gave me permission to use her Storm at Sea Log Cabin quilt pattern for a log cabin challenge from our LQS. I was thrilled to see my quilt as part of an exhibit of more than 100 log cabin designs in May.

In Ontario, August signals the start of fall fairs. For the last several years (except for Covid) I have entered items into 4 (semi) local fairs and have enjoyed quite a bit of success--except in one area--the OAAS (Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies Quilting Division). For my entry to be eligible, I needed to piece and quilt it myself. Last January, I became the proud owner of a new-to-me Handi Quilter Amara and am finally able to quilt my own quilts!

Okay, that's a lot of background info but believe me, the story needed to be told.

Last weekend, my Storm at Sea won it's category but came second for OAAS--Reserve Grand Champion. This weekend...a different fair, probably a different judge...it won Grand Champion!! It will be going on to the District meeting later this year and will compete against the Grand Champion quilts from a much larger area. I am soooo excited!!

Thank you so much, Dunster!! I wish I could share these ribbons with you!
