pieceful kwilter: the super bowl of quilt shows

so this week is the AQS quilt show in Paducah, KY.....remember this quilt? i posted about it back in august...it's 'show' name is "Mountain Holly and the Rare Red-Berried Mistletoe" pieced by Jan C. well, jan entered it for the show and it was accepted! that alone is an honor! the story made our local paper and everything. i got to go to jan's house and get photographed for the article....it was all a bit embarrassing....there are two other cobb county quilters with quilts in the show....

(this picture is it hanging in our local guild show, hopefully i'll get a picture of it hanging at Paducah)

well, if you click here to go to the list of winners (don't get ahead of me) and scroll down you'll see this:

it took third prize in the bed size quilted with a longarm/midarm catergory!

thank you, jan, for giving me the opportunity to quilt your quilt! like i always say: "it's easy to quilt a quilt that is beautiful to start with" it is also an advantage when the quilt is so well pieced.

....now if you'll excuse me there is a cloud with a big 9 on it that i need to visit :)

Way to go Shannon!, read about it on the APQS forum. I'm so happy for you, you always pour your heart & soul into the quilts you quilt so it was bound to happen sooner or later, glad it was sooner!!

The quilt is gorgeous, she did a good job on it. I can't really see your quilting from the picture, but based on your past work, I am sure it is astonishing as usual.

Great Job, and congratulations on your honor.

Woo-hoo for you. That should keep you smiling for a long time. It is a beauty.
Not surprised your work is always droolworthy. I'm glad the big guns in Paducah agree!
