Hi all,

This morning I finished my SnW Kaleidoscope Pinwheel Throw. I was
entering it in my Guilds Quilt show (it won't be judged) that takes
place this weekend. It was suppose to be there by 9 am. At 8:30 I
finished applying the label.

I am really happy how it turned out. The binding is my only pet peeve.
Since I was in a rush I did it by machine and in some spots you can see
the stitches. I think I might take that apart after the show.

Anyway, Dance a little dance with me!

doing a wee dance for you

Helen NZ-to puffed to do much more than wiggle!  :)

The babies and I will do a twirly Pinwheel Dance for you! You must be so
e***d about the show! I know I would be.

Remember to take pictures!

Oh. .I didn't see it when I was there this morning. I guess they hadn't hung
it yet. I was helping to hang, but they had so many helpers, I left.

Now don't look too closely at that binding!!!

Check out the label... I'm very proud of it.. I made up the rhyme myself!

Starlady

No pictures yet... but I'm bringing my camera to the show so I can get one.

Hopefully I'll develop the film sooner than later.
I also hope to bring another FINISHED quilt when we get together... but first,
finish my Round Robin Border.

I'm not having this one judged. I think a lot of people have seen this type
of quilt in the past and so I found it to be less than I would like to have
someone judge. I'm happy I chose not to judge it b'cause the tension on my
machine was whacky when I started quilting the stippling and so I would
venture to say it would have been the death of me if I put it in for
judging..

I am happy that I was able to hang it at the show, though. It's my first
show!

Starlady

Yippee, Sandy!  Good for you for entering your quilt in the show.  I
love to look at SnW quilts, but don't have any desire to make one.<VBG>
We'll look forward to pictures!

As I tell my DD each time she enters a piece in the State Fair, the
judging part is not important. What is important is that many people will
see your work. Each will have their own opinion, but they will see part
of you up there. I find that quite thrilling! The kids' handicraft area
is in the same building as the fudge - THE most popular building at the
fair! So, thousands of people have the chance to see the work that each
person has done.

I don't expect to win ribbons with my work either, but I think it is
important for people to see what other quilters are doing. It's good for
the soul.

BTW, DD has won 2 ribbons for her quilts! (But that's not the important
part. <G>)
