I received a call last week and my quilt "A View from Above" has won a cash award. Quilts: A World of Beauty is held at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. I won't find out until November what I've won, but I was pretty shocked and excited. It's my first time entering, and this is the biggest show in the country. This is my first award. 

In addition, "Life in the City" won an honorble mention, so that was amazing. I will receive two ribbons! 

I'm humbled, grateful and looking forward to going to the show in November.
