Our Quilt Show opened today and we had over 700 people! Can I say as Show Chair I am completely exhausted. But I wanted to share my good news about my Jubilee quilt. As you can see, it won a blue ribbon.
At 4:45, I realized I hadn't taken a single picture. So I grabbed a friend and she took these pictures.
The quilt looks great but I think I look pretty tired - but oh, so happy. I'm going to share some thoughts about my Jubilee journey soon, but right now I am just so happy to share these pictures and enjoy the thrill of seeing my quilt hang in the show. By joining The Jubilee Quilt Project, I was committed to making a quilt for me, by me to celebrate me. I think this is my most favorite quilt of all the ones I have ever made.
I am beyond thrilled.
Tired, but thrilled.

It doesn't surprise me that your quilt has a blue ribbon. It is gorgeous and well done. Congratulations.
I was thinking this past week that your quilt show should be just any time. I hope you will have more pictures to share.
Karen, this is really exquisite in person. Glad I hunted in the quilt show til I found it. Quilt show was great! Congrats on being (almost) done with it!
You so deserve a blue ribbon for all the work you put into that quilt! You look jubilant! :-) So glad you won a ribbon and glad you had such a great turn out for your show. Hope you get some rest and enjoy your quilt at home. Great job! K-

Congratulations Karen!!! It certainly is a beautiful quilt.
The quilt is amazing, you're amazing, and the whole show was amazing. Congratulations on the well-deserved recognition. I wish I knew how many stitches you put in that quilt. Maybe one day when we're old and have nothing more important to do, we'll count them. :-)
Congratulations! I know your workmanship is exquisite, and I can only imagine how thrilled you must be to know that quilt judges recognize it. What a great honor. And being quilt show chair too? Well, you're getting quite the attention, in all sorts of ways. I'm so very happy for you. Now I hope you get to put your feet up, relax, and revel in doing well, in all you accomplished.
