The Show Kick-Off

Tonight we had our official opening of the quilt show, a reception, and a speaker (Heather Mulder Peterson of Anka's Treasures). I was so pleased that several friends and relatives came to the show and to see me in my featured quilter debut. I had a great time.

Another pleasant surprise was that two of my quilts were chosen by the show committee or museum staff members as Best of Show! They get to put ribbons on their favorites. I didn't expect any, and I got two! My friend, Sally, the other featured quilter, also got one. I thought that was so nice!





Heather Mulder Peterson's quilts are beautiful, and I love her patterns and her philosophy... she likes to make her patterns simple but look more complex than they really are. My cousin won a door prize which was one of Heather's books, and she also bought a pattern which we agreed to share. My daughter sat there enthralled and decided she needs to learn how to quilt! Husband and brother-in-law even came to the show and stayed way longer than I expected. What a nice surprise!



All in all it was a fun evening and successful event.
