Well, now that things are almost over, I have a minute to share exactly what has been keeping me so busy...... I have just judged my first quilt show!!! Several months ago, I was asked by the Evening Star Quilt Guild in Dothan, AL to be the judge for their upcoming quilt show. I happily said yes!! I judged the quilts on Thursday and presented a lecture and trunk show last night. I have had a table to display the quilts I've made over the last few months.
This is my table as I tried to set it up - I put the mug rugs in a little basket.
I realized I didn't even have a sign so I made this from a piece of linen and some 3" orphan rail fence blocks that will never become the jacket it was supposed to be.
Here's the name sign for the table - it's all so exciting!!
This is a little blurry, but as you can see, "Flowers for Nana Girl" is hanging in the back. I've been promoting Kim's books and signing books and calendars that people have bought.
Here are all the quilts in my living room the night I was packing up. It was quite a visual feast for the eyes!!!
These are a few of the mug rugs that I made - getting ready to do the bindings.
This is the barn where the quilt show is being held. It's at the Landmark Park in Dothan, AL. The weather has been wonderful and the crowds have been good.
As I've looked at these pictures, they are so out of order - but I'm sure you get the idea :). This has been a great opportunity and I believe it may the start of a brand new door opening for me.
Hope you all have had a great day!!

Looks like the makings of a wonderful time! Love seeing your work displayed and I hope you have a great time with the judging.
How exciting. Good luck with your new adventure!
It's an exciting time for you, Karen. Seeing all your fine work together like that has to bring a little skip to your heart. It's an impressive layout! Dothan is a familiar name to me. I think maybe Fort Rucker is nearby--where my son got his training to be an Army helicopter pilot.
Keep us posted on how the show goes! I bet you'll be an impressive judge.
Congratulations! I am very happy for you. Your quilts are amazing and I wish you luck in the future.

So much fun - congratulations! Good luck with your new endeavor!!
