Second Place for Fields of Gold
Last night was the awards ceremony, and I won a SECOND PLACE for Fields of Gold… I am simply STUNNED and ELATED, and I’m shouting and happy dancing a whole lot louder than my typing indicates…<GRIN>!!!!!!!!! Here’s a quick photo or two or three…then gotta run teach a class. It is 6:55 a.m. and I’m in the Hilton lobby en route from room to Convention center, but there is free WiFi here….
After the ceremony, I went to thank Pokey Bolton, whose company Quilting Arts sponsored the prize:
Here’s my table right now, with laptop, Festival badge and ribbons:
And a close-up:
OK….gotta run and teach, but I think you can see how happy I am… DREAMS COME TRUE! (And I get to go home on Sunday to hubby and kids….more dreams come true!)
