It Won!

"Journey to Baltimore" won Second Place in the Hand Applique Wall Quilt division at

the Milwaukee Machine Quilting Show, August, 2011. It also received a "Teacher's

Award" from Karen McTavish who developed McTavishing as a form of background

filler. Dawn Larsen, who quilted Journey to Baltimore used this technique as fill

in the applique blocks. Congratulations to Dawn and Me!

Since this is the first time I won some money for one of my quilts, I told the boys I would take them all out for a beer when we're in Charleston. It's their prize for enduring all my years of quilting! Watch for that pic coming soon.
