This Is MY Week!

If you have the 2012 AQS Engagement calendar, this is my week.  Joyful Journey, the first quilt I ever entered in an AQS show, was accepted for the 2010 show and was then selected to be featured in an upcoming calendar.  Because it's purple I thought it might be in the April timeframe, my anniversary is April 10, and April 15 is a special day for me.  Or maybe Easter.  NO--it appears this week so I guess I'm celebrating Ground Hog's Day! 

The pattern is by Susan Garman, Washington's Medallion, and is a block of the month pattern.  The spectacular quilting is by Pamela Dransfeldt, the Joyful Quilter--I found her on Facebook and we were  a perfect match.  I actually pieced a second one of these, in blue batiks, for Pam--we're collaborators.  Here is her quilt, it's called Joyful Journey Too:

Pam lives in California so we meet up each year at the International Quilt Festival in Long Beach.  Here is a shot of the two of us, last year, when I got to see the quilting and crystals she put on hers:

I have an extra copy of this calendar so when we reach 100 followers there will be a giveaway.  Sign up as a follower, either by email or with Google by using the link above.  And tell your friends.  I'd hate for it to be December before we reach 100 followers!

Let's Quilt!
