Happy belated birthday, Rosemary! And, i agree! We need to see some pictures of your new toy!!!

I have decided not to make a quilt for the Hoffman Challenge this year. I pour my heart into things like that, and I have decided to spend the time on finishing some of my UFOs for my Featured Quilter booth at our guild show in September. That's right! I have been honored by being asked to be the Featured Quilter! Too cool! This should be fun!

Also, Masquerade (my 2015 Hoffman Challenge) was juried into the Mancuso Mid-Atlantic Quit Show. I mailed it yesterday. That's pretty cool too! It gets to go play with the big girls again.

Life is good!

Oh what fun, Rosemary to get a new machine for your birthday! Squeal!!

Dawn, I think it is fantastic that you are the honored quilter for your guild show. I think we must find you as nice online as they do in person and what a joy to have a display of all your work together. How large is your guild? I met the featured quilter at the Des Moines guild show 2 yrs ago and she is so sweet. We remain friends and I got to see her last year at the show. Quite an honor, I'd say! Congrats!

HI everyone. Dawn, how wonderful about your quilt getting into MAQF and your being the featured quilter! So are you going to MAQF? I am planning on going since I too, have a quilt in the show.
Rosemary, so happy for you with your new machine. It looks wonderful.
G Street Fabrics in Rockville, MD is going to hold an exhibit of my quilts in late April or early May. I am working on several slightly less difficult quilts to add to those I already have for this exhibit. These will be for sale. I'm not planning at this time to put them in a show. So I'm not making a Hoffman Challenge this year either.
Hope everyone is doing well. I have been away a while trying to get the quilt my son Ken designed finished, which I did. It's the one in MAQF. I'll put out pictures after the show.
Cheers, everyone.
