I love swaps, and I like challenges.Congleton quilt group (Beartown) have a quilt show every 2-3 years where members work is displayed... and I always enter my work in that .... HOWEVER .... I am not an enterer of competitions. I think it is wonderful that other people do, and I love to see their designs, interpretation of themes and their ingenuity... not for me though.
SO last year when the Quilters Guild announced a swap/competition I thought NO......
Then I thought about it and thought ... why not?
SO I had a go. It was........to send fabric in, this was then swapped with German quilters, the fabric that came back was to be made into a wall hanging measuring 32 x 16 inches.
THIS was my entry (we were NOT to post about it, or share pictures until the "winners" were announced.. )
I really enjoyed making it
and of course it was mainly GREEN!
with LOTS of embellishments
I was not selected to be part of the 30 (out of 79 entries) that will go on display
BUT I don't mind ... because in my mind (and WHAT a place that is!!!) it is a winner .. and I LOVE having it on my wall xx
Keep smiling

There's an awful lot of hard work gone into that, its lovely. Hope you enjoy looking at it every day!
It's really pretty! I am not generaly a competition either, far too lazy ;-)x
Definitely a winner. I understand that some of the fabrics received by UK quilters were really dire.
Good for you for entering. It makes you stretch a little, and that is good for all of us now and then.
Good for your for entering! I'm not an 'enterer' either.
Lovely panel - do enjoy it yourself - looks like a winner to me. xx
Lovely, people who chose the winners might have slight sight problem, I say... :) x x
