I just got back from Houston but I'm already back on the road and in Lake Tahoe for a workshop with Valerie Goodwin. I had an amazing time, to say the least, and was so happy my husband could pull himself away from the office to go with me. We took a ton of pictures, and I've posted only a handful, but I'm too exhausted to actually comment on them. When I get back home, I will, and there will be a lot more coming too. :) 

My quilt "A View from Above" won first prize in the Art Abstract Small Category, and "Life in the City" won an honorable mention in the Art Abstract Large Category. I was pretty blown away by everything, and look forward to elaborating further...

This is right after the awards ceremony.

I haven't seen these two ladies since elementary school!
