A Really Good Day

on
Yesterday was a really good day.  I went to the Cowtown Farmer's Market, ran a few errands and worked on the SAQA volunteer booth schedule for International Quilt Festival.  SAQA will have a booth near their exhibits, "People and Portraits" and "Text Messages," and I volunteered to solicit the volunteers to man it.  So if you are a SAQA member, will be attending the show in Houston and would like to volunteer, e-mail me and I'll give you a time slot.

When I sat down at my computer to sift through the volunteers' e-mails, I found one from IQA (International Quilt Association, who run the Houston show) that I had won a cash award for Tuning Fork #11.  I'm a winner!
Tuning Fork #11, 2013
I won't know which award it is until the official awards ceremony, but frankly, I don't care which one it is.  Being a winner at International Quilt Festival is a big deal whichever it is!

Brian and I celebrated both his birthday and my win last night.  It was a wonderful wonderful day!

Whoooo hoooo!

I'm linking this to Nina-Marie Sayer's blog.  Go look at all the cool stuff there!

Congratulations! I'm glad for you. I really like your "turning fork" series. I remember some of my uncles using those tuning forks to get the pitch of the songs that we would sing accapella.
