Hmmm, what to inspire us this week? How about a couple of modern quilts submitted to QuiltCon?
Back in November I submitted three quilts in the hopes that at least one would make the cut. Since it's a juried show, I knew it would be difficult to get in, and I was right. Of the three quilts I submitted, only one made it.
Wait, I really didn't say that quite right: ONE OF MY QUILTS WAS ACCEPTED TO QUILTCON!!!!
Now that's more like it. At least that's closer to how I feel! I'm very excited! This is the first time EVER I've submitted to a major show, let alone an international one. Ya-hoo! {said in my Texan accent}
Okay, so here we are. Three quilts. The first is "Round Pegs, Square Holes." It's a bit biographical since I'm one of those round pegs and life seems to be made of square holes. I don't always fit. And neither does this quilt. Sorry darling, you will have to stay home, but you will be loving displayed in the studio until after February.

And here is "Reflections in Gray" a quilt that I made using my grandmother's pattern. I will visit it in Austin in February as it will be displayed at QuiltCon!


Happy Quilting,
