You can make an account, select all your favourite blogs, and then say how you'd like to be notified of new blog posts from those bloggers. I get a daily email telling me if my favourite bloggers have blogged. I see a little snippet of their post, and a photo, and click for more info if I'm interested. It's a great way to follow blogs - especially now that Amanda Jean is only going to do Finish it Up Friday once a month.
Right - back to the real news:
I'm delighted to let you know that I won "Best in Show" at Capital Quilters' QUILTED exhibition for Vibrant Curiosities. It also won "Best Large Bed Quilt made by one person".My quilt is all English Paper Pieced and hand quilted by me! It's great to know that a hand made quilt won the top prize.
If you're on Facebook or Instagram (@capitalquilters) you can follow Capital Quilters and see the types of quilts our members make. Capital Quilters also has a blog - maintained by me.
Some of you will recognise this quilt from our national Symposium in Christchurch last October:

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your quilt...I love EPP and have finished two quilts so far...didn't have the patience when I was younger. You totally deserved that award and I'm so happy for you! Love your blog and your inspiration, too. Thank you for that!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Wendy...how exciting and well done x
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful, colorful quilt ... and a lot of work. And how wonderful to see it so well celebrated. CONGRATULATIONS on such a well-deserved award.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Wendy! It's a beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteCan you give me some tips as to what your longarmer does to baste your quilt, or what you tell her?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Wendy! What a wonderful achievement!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Well done
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful quilt. Congratulations on not one but two ribbons. They are well deserved. I went back to read the post about how you created this quilt and found it quite interesting. I used to do hand work a lot but now stick mostly to the sewing machine. So I admire your wonderful talent and the way you took a traditional pattern and designed a new quilt. You always inspire me.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a gorgeous quilt as well as the recognition of Best in Show. Such a beauty.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful quilt. So precise, such perfect piecing, stitching etc. Your awards are VERY much deserved. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Wendy, a well deserved win.
ReplyDeleteWhen I started quilting in the early 90's most quilts were hand quilted, now they are a rarity. Watching you do the big stitch quilting has inspired me to do some on the next quilt I make.
I love it! I can see why it won!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your win, Wendy.
ReplyDeleteEPP and hand quilting is an absolute labor of love and I'm very happy you got rewarded for all your hard work. Well done - love your quilt.
