A pretty good day

Today was mostly spent buying fabric (not all of which was for me, I must add) and drooling over quilts. I promise to take more photos tomorrow, but in the meantime here are the three big prize winners. From the top: best machine quilting (Carolyn Friedlander), quilting excellence (Karen Anderson-Abraham) and best in show (Victoria Findlay Wolfe).



amazing detail in the quilting
But by far the MOST amazing thing that happened today was this:
Look at the cuteness of the ribbon!!!
ANOVA came second in the Modern in Miniature category! You can see some of the other entries here. I am over the moon (and more than a little stunned) that I placed. As I think you can probably tell by my face.

I'll be back tomorrow with more quilty photos. I may even remember to take my real camera instead of using the phone, but I can't promise anything.
