Stilling Buzzing Along

It's been too long, but still buzzing along with my quilting. Perhaps I'll be able to keep up with posting more often.

I wanted to share that I entered two quilts in my very first quilt show!!  Landmark Park is a local agricultural learning and activity center. This past weekend they held their Heritage Days Fall Festival, which included a quilt show and juried quilt contest. Our guild, the Enterprising Quilters' Guild was asked to participate. As the guild president, I encouraged our members to enter their quilts and challenged myself to place two quilts in the contest as well.  Seven of our guild members entered the contest.  I am pleased to announce that all seven of us placed or received an award. The following are pictures of our quilts:

It was such a joy to see our ladies rewarded for their beautiful quilts.  I was very humbled to receive the awards for my quilts and I'm blessed to be able to enjoy such a wonderful hobby in quilting and to do it with such great friends.  Hope you enjoyed seeing our quilts.

Buzz for now,
