I was at the opening for One Step Further today, it's the Art Quilt Competition run by Victorian Quilters and I was absolutely thrilled to win a Highly Commended prize for my quilt Time Flies. Actually, I was gob smacked, because I thought my quilt wouldn't be arty enough to win a prize.

However, I am not complaining.
Jan Preston won the other Highly Commended prize for Shadowed Leaves.

I don't know how she got such strong colour with her eco printing.
The Runner Up or 2nd prize went to Linden Lancaster for her quilt Bottlewashers 1. I really love Linden's work.

Drumroll for the first prize!!
First Prize went to Judy Hooworth for her gorgeous quilt, Mangroves- Low Tide at Lake Eraring.
The exhibition is help at the Kyabram Town Hall Gallery, Victoria and it will be open everyday except Sundays until the 26th November.
It was a long 3 hour drive there and another 3 hours back, so that was a lot of driving in the rain today. It was a wonderful opening and great to catch up with friends. I'll put more photos up in another post but after all that driving, I am pretty exhausted.

Yay for you! Congratulations! Fun to see the other quilts as well so the long drive in the rain was worth it. Time now to put your feet up and revel in your success.
Thanks Magpie Mumblings, it was such an honour amongst so many wonderful works
