Binding and Goals

No pictures with this post.  But I will have some fabulous pictures shortly.   I am putting the binding on my quilt.   I haven't even turned it over to look at the right side to see how it all looks.   The flowers will go on after I attach the sleeves to it.   They are 3D, of course=)  Therefore are put on last.  

Might I just say that I love it!   All will be revealed soon.

You may notice that I put my 2011 goals up in the right hand column at the top.   I thought it would be fun to share them.   For my out of country quilting friends, I will explain.  CQA is our Canadian Quilting Association.  Each year they put on a juried show and each year I submit.   I have had my quilts accepted twice.  But I have never attended a show, so have never seen my quilts hang in a juried exhibition.  

This year, it is in my province and I am determined to go.  One, to meet all the people I have met online.   Two, because I so want to see one of my quilts hanging in the show.   Now I realize that I may be going down and no quilts will have been accepted.   But I will cross that bridge when the time comes.  

The Trend Tex Challenge I mentioned is CQA's fundraiser.   You purchase 5 fat quarters and have to follow a theme and size and make a quilt based on that.   The quilt is then donated to be auctioned off at the CQA convention.   So even if none of my quilts get juried into the show, I can donate this quilt and see it hanging at Quilt London.  

Lastly, my comment about 'keep trying'... that will be told when the time is right.  

I will leave you with my quote for 2011:
