We had a challenge in my quilt guild to make something with a star or comet on it. I made the shooting star block and put it together in attic windows. There were only 8-10 of us that participated in the competition, but I won first place. I'm so excited. I'm my own worst critic and this recognition meant a lot. I posted a pic before, but thought I'd post it again.

BTW, it will be in the quilt show April 10-11 in Hannibal. Anyone up for a trip to Missouri?

Well done - it's very effective!

looks like a winner to me ;-)

Thanks.

CONGRATULATIONS! It looks great!

I'm working on our guild challenge right now and although I'd love to win, I've seen better. But who knows! Maybe when I tell them it's the first quilt I've ever completed on my own they'll give me the sympathy vote. LOL

Wow, you deserve 1st place!

Congratulations - it's a beautiful wall hanging!

I love the way you set the shooting star in a window. Great idea! You deserve the recognition. Hope it does well in the upcoming show, also.

Congratulations Lois!

Lovely!

It's wonderful!

Wow! That was a great ideal to do the star through a window. No wonder you won. Congrats.!

I'm not even surprised you won. It is so pretty.

Congratulations!!!! Great block!

How far are you from Mansfield?

I don't know where Mansfield is. Hannibal is in the NE corner of Missouri (on the banks of the Mississippi).

Mansfield is in the Ozarks.

Congratulations! It sure is a nice piece!

Me!!! ME!!!! I have tons of relatives in the Washington area....
Oh, wait...I live in CA and have no money for ticket!! BOO!!

Best of luck with the show. Our guild had our show in January and we did great!!! Seems people are doing stuff like that instead of taking weekend trips.

Love your shooting star, too!!! Wonderful effect.

Are you down by Springfield? That's about 4 hours from here. Nice weekend trip?????

What a beauty! I'm not surprised you won!

Wow !! This is really pretty !!
