    Last September I entered a quilt into a local competition, and was really surprised to win third place in the bed section. I was over the moon, as I didn't think that it was being judged, was just there for people to look at. It is a trip around the world made using Moda William Morris Workshop colours. I really like the colours - although they aren't everyones cup of tea. I hand quilted it, so it took me quite a while to complete. Hope you like it.

    If that was 3rd place you were up against stiff competition.
    It sure looks like a blue ribbon to me! Great quilt and beautiful quilting.:)

    Yes I am about 3/4 hrs drive south of Stirling. Beautiful city Stirling - I recently went to Stirling Castle and got some wonderful photographs. I stay about 15 miles west of Edinburgh, so quite central. Is your daughter still in Scotland?
