Wonderful day at National Quilt Championships

I knew I had won the Machine Quilting Award with Wings of Love, but the Judges Merit ribbon was a lovely surprise. Click on the photos to see it enlarged. The thread was a wonderful variegated one from Auriful.
And 2nd Place in the Small Wall Hanging with Feather Journey#2 was something which made me very happy.
The Best of Show was hand quilted and beautifully appliquéd by Sandi Lush. Very well deserved.
But my favourite quilt was not in the competition, I just love the following quilt
I have very eclectic tastes and this one is even brighter and more exuberant in real life, I LOVE IT!

    Your success was well deserved as both quilts are so beautiful. I can see why you liked the star quilt, a really unusual layout too as well as fantastic colours.

    Congratulations! I saw that small quilt at MQX and fell in love with it.

    BTW, I will be visiting London in September (9 - 17). Would love to meet you one day if it's possible. I will have most of the week days free.

    I hope you get this message as my comments are still misbehaving but I simply HAD to attempt to say Triumph! Well Done!
