She had seen the article in the McCall's Quilting Magazine! And....Guess What!?!!!? She asked me if I would consider going to Joplin and be their guest speaker at their quilt guild meeting on Oct 19th!!!!! So, I am!!!

She said that she thinks I'd be a good inspiration to the quilters there and she would love to know what possessed me to enter a national competition, especially since I haven't quilted very long! Plus, she's amazed that I made my own pattern to sell too. I told her that the contest was recommended to me by a friend here on the quilting board. She also gets on here, but said she just reads it. She would like me to tell people about this website too, as it is great! I am going to ask Admin to make sure that it is alright. I don't see why it wouldn't be though.

Can you believe this??? I couldn't!!! I had to get on the phone and call all my friends and family to tell them. I'd just called to let them know that I made it to the next round the day before! I'm probably NOT going to like my phone bill next month! LOL I am also going to be compensated for coming!

So! How's that for some interesting news? Thanks for voting for me and all the support and positive feedback I get on here! I really appreciate it! Thanks too for listening!
Happy Quilting!

Marilyn, for that long-distance phone bill, get a Magic Jack. We have one as kids & GKs live in WI and we don't. It feeds off your computer and is only $20 a YEAR! Quality is great.Congratulations on how you feel. I call it "validated" Someone thinks what you or I have done is worth something. I think what you are doing is super wonderful!. Gotta get to McCalls & vote again!!!!!

Good Luck!

Congrats, thats great news

Boo Hoo! We can't vote yet! Marilyn, please let us know when the voting has begun.

Congrats! Hope you enjoy your trip, and please share with us!! :)

That is so awesome, Marilyn. You deserve every good thing that will be coming your way. You have been such an inspiration to people on this board. Let us know how this goes and good luck in this round of the McCall's competition.

You must have a little patience. We have to make a quilt for you to vote on first! LOL We make this next quilt between Oct 9th and Nov 8th. Then, it will go to McCall's for voting again. The next voting period will be from Nov 11 through Nov 24. Mark it on your calendars! That way you won't forget. I'll also post it on here.
Thanks,
Marilyn

I want to thank you all for your continued support and compliments! I'm blushing. I will post how the meeting goes after it's over. Probably the next day, as it'll be late when I get home. I wouldn't leave you all out now!
Thanks again! For everything!
