What a surprise - I won Third Prize for this little quilt in the the Predominantly Pieced, Amateur, Section. I loved doing this quilt - the pattern was frrom an Australian Patchwork & Quilting magazine - although I changed the background blocks to use up some gingham I have had in the cupboard forever and then raided the stash for the applique petals & took them overseas to have some easy handwork to do. It just never entered my head that "Petals on Ginham" could win a prize. Check out other prize winners at http://www.qldquilters.com/
Here is my "Daughter of the Forest" entrant - she was up against some really hot competition - she survived the January floods and I have no doubt she'll survive & have more stories to tell.
So happy to see that quilt win - it's fresh and really carries the tradition with a new twist. But your lovely daughter - she will be much admired at the show, and will have other outings I'm sure.
