Second Place for Fields of Gold

WOOOOOHOOOO!!!!!! 2009.10.blog.award004

Last night was the awards ceremony, and I won a SECOND PLACE for Fields of Gold… I am simply STUNNED and ELATED, and I’m shouting and happy dancing a whole lot louder than my typing indicates…<GRIN>!!!!!!!!!    Here’s a quick photo or two or three…then gotta run teach a class.  It is 6:55 a.m. and I’m in the Hilton lobby en route from room to Convention center, but there is free WiFi here….

After the ceremony, I went to thank Pokey Bolton, whose company Quilting Arts sponsored the prize:2009.10.blog.award003

Here’s my table right now, with laptop, Festival badge and ribbons:
