So, based on the comment cards for my pieces from the judge(s) and the ribbons attached, I can assume I've done OK this year. I entered 3 quilts, here's what was written:
It looks like the mariner's compass quilt was considered for best of show by the "Did well in final competition" comment. :)
Tonight is quilt bee night. We're meeting at my house this month and we're hand dyeing fabric. I'm looking forward to it. I have almost nothing ready, though. I got my box of dye out and have two jugs ready for dye activator solution, but the solution is not made and I don't have the family room vacuumed and I don't have my muslin washed. I did get the kitchen mostly cleaned up this morning, so that's something. I plan on dyeing some fabric for this year's guild challenge so I will be aiming for magentas and blacks. I'll post pictures when it's rinsed out.
The first sock of the pair I'm working on is coming along. I work a couple rounds in the morning at work while my machine is booting up. They have so much security stuff loaded on our PC's and networks, it can take up to 15 minutes just to log in to where you can start to work. You can't go anywhere because you still need to key in passwords, so I knit. Ta-da:

Fantastic! You did better than my apple pie did in competition.
Way to go!
Whoo hoo! That's fantastic!
And I'd like some of Greeny's apple pie, please.
Wow! Of course, now I feel bad about the comment on how you need to be crazy to be a great quilter!
I am sooo impressed! I can barely sew on a button.My favorite is the quilt you did for my granddaughter.
Thank you everybody!
And you better take that mean comment back, Iamnot!
Love me some apple pie, pass some this way please! (Just put it in the box with the veggies. ;)
Yeah, about the veggies...uh, I uh didn't do so well on that as you may well have noticed.
Ya'll may have to come on down to the Ozarks and sample it fer yerselves in person. Whatdaya think?
Socks are generally a curse around here, but those [it, so far] is quite lovely.
As for the ribbons, you little super star you. [I'd call you a jammy dodger but I don't think that translates very well.]
Cheers
Congratulations! I'm impressed with your willingness to put yourself out there. Judging can be scary. But you are a talented quilter, crazy or not! ;-)
