Thank you to Pat Wagner for finding that Julia Ravenscroft had taken a picture of my Hoffman jacket at the Boise Quilt Show. I had to work and was not able to go. Here is her photo. I am very thankful to Julia for the photo.

2011 Hoffman Challenge!

Third time in 3 years to get excepted to the Hoffman Challenge feels great. Even better is that Lynnette's sister Trudy fellow quilt show junky took best first time entry in dolls. I challenged her last January at the Road to California show to enter and she did it! She is a magical doll maker. I am so excited for her.

Its there!

Well my kimono is in Colorado according to the tracking info from the U.S.P.S. I am waiting to get the e-mail telling me they have recieved it. Then I get to wait until the end of July beginning of August to hear if it will be excepted.  Now it's hurry up and wait................................................................................
