Fame at Last!

Sometime ago I made a small quilt for the CQ group on the theme of "what it means to me to be British". Each little quilt had to measure 20cm by 20cm and the idea was that 60 would be sewn together and the final quilt exhibited as part of the "Celebrating Diversity" exhibition by the European Quilt Association currently on show at the Quilt Museum in York.

My little quilt was chosen and the actual quilt was featured in an article in Popular Patchwork Magazine and unknown to me, until yesterday, my quilt square was shown on the cover!!!! What an honour and will I cope with the fame! So there we are, my DH and me, spade and fork at the ready, dressed for the occasion on our allotment.

This was the first time I had entered anything I've made in any sort of competition and so now I feel a bit more confident about entering other competitions. However, that will have to wait because we are almost at our moving date and are surrounded by boxes.

We have the removal van booked, and after a bit of a struggle, we have got somewhere to move to even though it's a rental property. We will be living in a lovely part of Cornwall, very close to the coast path and in a very lively village. Above all, I will be much closer to my dear sister and although I'll be leaving many good friends behind here, I'm hoping that I will soon make lots of new ones.

So probably no blogging for a while, but normal service will be resumed as soon as possible!
