The JOY of Making…Brings Us Together

One week ago we were moving the last few boxes into our new headquarters, and we spent the whole week organizing and getting back to business. I had a quick trip to Quilts Inc in Houston, then had a couple more days to work with our fantastic staff to get the new classroom ready for this weekend’s workshop.

And what was I doing at Quilts Inc you may ask? Working with a team of judges, we chose the winners for our Love Your Mother quilt challenge/contest.

Drum roll please…here are the WINNERS!

1st Prize – Elizabeth Budd – We Are All One
2nd Prize – Mirvia Aranda – Aunque se nos fue la mano (Even if it got out of our hands)
3rd Prize – Silke Steuxner – Beautiful Australia
4th Prize – Janice Jones – Say NO to Animal Poaching
Honorable Mentions –
Deborah Snider – Gaia’s Gifts
Sonia Ruiz – Ama a tu Madre

Congratulations to the 6 of you!
Prizes will be awarded at the Teachers Luncheon on Thurs Nov 8.

MOST important is a very big thank you to BERNINA USA for co-sponsoring the Love Your Mother exhibit and contributing an absolutely gorgeous B 579 QE machine for the First Prize winner! I spoke to Elizabeth Budd a couple days ago to give her the good news – she was pretty excited to say the least.

My dear friend Pam Holland is the featured speaker at the luncheon. Many of our artists will be joining me at a reserved Love Your Mother table up front. Please come to see the exhibit, and meet these talented artists. I am honored that they chose to participate in this project, which will travel after the Houston Quilt Festival.
