Erica's Triumph: "Horsing Around"

We haven't been doing nothing, even though we have not been blogging here, I promise. Slowly, slowly Erica and I keep going with our quilting. And finally Erica's hard work has paid off as she triumphed in the big Queensland Quilters Show last week, scooping first prize for Primary Age for her "Horsing Around" Quilt. The quilt was started last year with lessons from Vision Patchwork, Ipswich to help. But she extend their quilt with two extra blocks, didn't want to do paint work/writing on her quilt and designed her own horses on the top two blocks! With a flood and many dramas in between she finally finished it just in time for the Brisbane Craft Show at the huge Brisbane Convention Centre!

I am soooo proud of her, "Well done Erica!" Who can resist loving such a sweet quilter!

Erica receives her prize from Lorraine Curthew, Queensland's famous quilt/textile artist! Kim Boland from Queensland Quilters at the podium.
