I had entered two quilts; Wooyung:

I discovered that The Final Round was also at the show, with the other State of the Art quilt 12 quilts:
I had planned not to buy anything but couldn't resist this book - I have been wanting to read it for quite a while:
I have almost finished it and will post a review soon!
I took something else home: Cycle of Life, which has been at a number of exhibitions and even a visit to the SAQA/SDA Conference in Philadelphia! It's been away for 18 months and I am so glad to have it back home! It is my favourite of all my quilts.
I had a lovely day at the show - unfortunately I had to leave early to pick up the boys from school. Hubby is in New Zealand at the moment, so I am temporarily a single parent. I had forgotten how much time and energy it takes when you have to do it all by yourself... which of course shows how much hubby usually does!
