I have been working steadily the last month on client quilts and am almost caught up with my queue. There were also a few quilt shows to attend in September and October, and I have a report for you on Autumn Pathway’s journey. At Northwest Quilt Exposition it won FIRST PLACE in its category.
I was pretty excited, even though I already knew I had won a prize. I had been called by the NW Expo staff to invite me to the award ceremony. As well as a ribbon, I came home with $500!!!!!
To make the day even sweeter, my friend Jenny also won a first place ribbon for her hand quilted piece!
This quilt is truly wonderful!
And here is a photo of Jenny, she’s also pretty happy!
The next show was the Emerald Valley Quilt Show at the end of September, and I am so happy to report that Autumn Pathways was selected as Viewer’s Choice for both days of the show. I received two beautiful handmade ribbons (made by my friend Sheila for the guild) and a large bag of prizes! I was thrilled!!!
Autumn Pathways then traveled back to Portland for the Machine Quilters Exposition. It did not place in that show, but I did get some very good marks from the judges and I appreciated the information on the judging sheet. The next show is “Road to California,” in January. I will hear by December 1st if it is accepted into that show. In the meantime, I am thinking about and working on designs for a show quilt for next year!

It is a beautiful quilt and you deserve the prizes you are earning for it. Now you can buy more fabric!
