Quilt Showcase 2014

April 6, 2011
.... if this is your first attempt at appliqué I’m looking forward to seeing your appliqué quilts in shows in a few years time....
Little did I realise when the above comment was left on my Yahoo photo album that I would be writing this post.  
"A few years time" - that's a long way down the track and a lot of learning, maybe one or two more applique quilts into the future. 
The power of encouragement is AWESOME! 
Without it I would not have finished the quilt and without it I would not have entered it into a quilt show.
But here it is ...

  1. Well done Wendy. Wowwwwww what a beauty, I knew I would see your quilts hang one day you fabric and colour blending is stunning. I'm thrilled to see others love it as much as I do. It Was special nice that Esther saw it too. Enjoy every bit of the glamor it is receiving you deserve it. Cheers Glenda

  5. Congratulations! I knew you'd win something on your first try of entering! :D I'm so glad that you did put submit some of your quilts into the show.

    I'm so sad that I'm not going to be able to get a photo of you and your quilt at the show!
