Gloves are packed and ready to go!

Well, the tropical gloves have now been sent to Twisted Thread ready for the Festival of Quilts which takes place at the NEC in Birmingham between the 14th and 17th of August 2008. This is the second major exhibition that I have entered since I left college last year.

I have only ever been to the NEC for large trade shows so it will be great to visit the Festival, which I will be doing on the 17th it looks like it's going to be a great show!

Tropical Gloves - National Quilt Championships 2008 - Wearable Art 1st Place

These little beauties did me proud at the National Quilt championships last weekend. I had dithered for a while about entering them. But after being nagged by friends and family alike, I finally caved in and entered the gloves in the wearable art section of the National Quilt Championships 2008.
It was the first time I had entered the championships and so I didn't think for one moment that I would win anything so imagine my shock when I received the call to say that I had been awarded first place!
They are entered in the Festival of Quilts at the NEC in August so we will see how they go down there.
