I'm so excited today even though the "storm" has certainly arrived here. It is a blizzard but I feel so elated!
I just got the news that one of the new quilts I did with Cheri Meineke-Johnson won "Outstanding Innovative Quilt" in the Road to California show. It was just announced today! I almost forgot how wonderful that feeling is when you win any recognition of your work at all. I'm very pleased. The name of the quilt is "Jewel Box".
I'm also excited because Janet-Lee sent me an email to tell me I was one of the nominees for "teacher of the year" for 2011. This is the third time I have been nominated and I'll tell you what, it is a HUGE honor just to be nominated. Thank you to any of you who make have made that nomination or voted for me. The people and friends I have because of this industry mean everything to me.
I hope you all have as great of day as I have had and it's only noon.
