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. 
Thoughts are things choose the good ones. |

Congratulations Gracy. That is just awesome!! I know they use a real critical eye when it comes to quilt judging, so you should feel very pleased with all of your hard work. Way to go!!

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!

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.

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

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'."
