I know you are not suppose to brag about yourself but I am pretty pleased at the moment. My Mom entered my quilt (the first one I ever made) in the county fair. I won Grand Champion. I couldn't believe it.

Congratulations! Obviously, you'll be doing more quilting if your first try gets you such an award!!!! Great job.
Excuse the mess & the noise, my children are making happy memories |

Oh, and I forgot. I have read a quote by Galdiola Montana. (I'm sure that is a pseudonym.) Anyway, she says, "If you've done it, it ain't braggin'."

Congratulations!! The quilt is lovely. The quilting is awesome too. Is it machine quilted? I really like the swirl design.

Ok, I am going to try to post a photo.
It was so simple a pattern I never dreamed they would look at it twice.

Wow! Your first quilt and it won Grand Champion, you must be a natural. Would love to see a picture of it. I have a quilt I made that I go to quilt shows and think "I could so enter that quilt!" But have never got the nerve up. If you're not gonna brag who will! I say you deserve it!
