Houston IQA Awards

How exciting! We had the awards ceremony last night here at IQA in Houston, and I discovered that the award that “Prairie Fire” has won is The Fairfield Masters Award For Contemporary Artistry! The award comes with a check for $5000.00! We got to see slides of all of the winning quilts and all of the first place and top winning quilts were unveiled one by one. Just beautiful!

Now I need to go and get ready for the Awards luncheon. Later at 5 there will be a reception for the SAQA Seasonal Palette exhibit and I can’t wait to see the whole exhibit and how “December Dawn” fits in. Then at 7 I am required to go and sit by my winning piece until the show closes at 10. It’s going to be a long day!!

Pictures later.
