Woodlands Area Quilt Guild Quilt Show





I entered my first quilt show this weekend. It was a lot of fun and I was shocked to see that I got a couple of ribbons.

Ralph's Family tree got a Honorable Mention. It was one out of 17 quilts in the Pieced-Two Person-Large category. The second quilt I entered was the veggie table runner, that I called Grandma's Garden. It took 1st place in the Home Decor category. I was the only one who entered. Ha, ha what a way to win!

Mary too was a 1st place winner!! The category she entered was Pieced-New Quilter. She too was the only one to enter but in her case I'm sure she would have won no matter who entered!!

So what is the lesson here? You can't win if you don't try!! We'll see how it goes in 2015.
