I&#8217;m working on a hand appliqued, hand quilted &#8220;Oak Leaf and Acorn&#8221; quilt for that room and it&#8217;s border is the same fabric as the binding on that one! Perfect! Why didn&#8217;t I see that before? It was at $150 and available.\u00a0 Then I got the idea that I could get two for the same price if I only waited a few hours, so I chose another in the same color range for that room, &#8220;Under the Sea&#8221;,\u00a0 and at the crack of 2:00 I sent my bid. But as luck would have it, in the meantime someone else snapped up &#8220;Oaks&#8221;. Oh, well.\u00a0 I can see how this auction thing could become addictive!!<\/p>\n<p>Sunday afternoon was the opening reception for &#8220;Kansans Paint Kansas&#8221;.\u00a0 There was a nice turnout and some beautiful work.\u00a0 All three of my entries were accepted and I was thrilled to receive a President&#8217;s Award for &#8220;Grasslands&#8221;. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ruthpowersartquilts.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/grasslands.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1119\" title=\"grasslands\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ruthpowersartquilts.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/grasslands-300x190.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruthpowersartquilts.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/grasslands-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruthpowersartquilts.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/grasslands.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MY piece sold to Larry and Carol Denning of Texas for $250.00!
