I have been so busy I haven't even had time to tell my Quilting Board Friends that my "Grids & Grommets" handbag won a traveling award for 2011. It is now in Colorado....then, it will travel to Pennsylvania, California, Florida, N.J., etc.

I am so honored that my bag was one of 40 winners in the accessory category. I do not know the total number of entries there were, but I do know it is usually several hundred, counting wall hangings, small quilts, dolls, etc.

I get the grommets online or at Hobby Lobby. If I need a different color, I spray them with Rust-O-Leum which I get at Lowes, or any hardware store/

ghostrider 08-16-2011 05:18 AM

Congratulations! Job well done!! :D

Isn't that the greatest feeling? To have your work selected to travel with the Hoffman Challenge trunks? I screamed out loud when I saw my name on the list a couple years ago. :lol: (thank you, Holice, for co-founding such a wonderful motivation for us to push ourselves to new heights...)

How exciting. Is it traveling to Santa Clara California in Oct? There is a national quilt show going on at that time and I will have to look for your purse. It is very beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
