I woke up at 6am on Saturday to watch the award ceremony for the Houston International Quilt Show and was absolutely thrilled to win second Prize in the Pieced section for my quilt Citrus Zing.
Below is a screen shot from my computer.

Another Australian won a prize too. It was my friend Tania Tanti who won the Master Award for Innovative Artistry for her quilt The Naughty Corner.

Best of Show went to a miniature quilt. I would love to see it in person, it must be amazing. It was made by Chen Jing from China. The quilt is only 17" x 18".

Houston is on at the end of the month, it's a shame that I won't be there to see it.
Here is a better photo of my quilt Citrus Zing.

It's been quite a popular quilt. It was used to advertise the Golden Textures Exhibition last year.
This year it is being used to advertise the AQIPP prize for next year.
I suppose the colours are unusual.
A couple of weeks ago the prizes for the Sydney Quilt Show were announced and Ocean Dance 2 won a Judges Award.

It has been a lovely end to my year when I think that also got into Quilt National for the first time. Quilt National will be opened in Ohio next May and I am planning on going.
Here is a small detail photo of my Quilt National quilt.

I know it is not all about prizes etc but they are nice to receive.
Bye for now,
Linda
