Final challenge report, not so good :0(

Well, I had good intentions, and though I didn't knock the challenge out of the park - I did get organized and finish some more quilts than I would have.  Right now my board is in very good shape.  I actually have a very reasonable few months ahead of me, with only about 3 quilts in Oct. & Nov.  And only one in December, leaving room to get one done for Marci for Christmas!  I have told people that I'm currently booking January, and no one has complained, so Hip Hip Hooray!

Last weekend was the guild's quilt show.  I pushed to get a new whitework quilt done.  I had about 36 hours of quilting time in it.  The "Polly Pocket Quilt" I made from Adam Chenovert's class and a purse were entered as well.  The Polly Pocket quilt won first place in the "Special Techniques" category and the newer quilt was second.  Most exciting though, the Polly Pocket won "Best Machine Quilting" overall for the show!  Woo Woo!!!  I was surprised and so delighted.  I received a lot of good compliments from folks who attended the show and it was really sweet.  Overall it was a great show, the guild got lots of positive comments about the quality of the show and the beautiful quilts.  Folks are looking forward to the next one in two years!

I took some pictures, but have to find the camera to post, LOL!  Those crazy weekends can be like that!
