I am truly on a high! Tonight was the awards ceremony at Taupo Symposium and I was blown away to be up on stage twice. My Tui at Dawn quilt won a merit award in the art quilt section and I also one the First Time Entrant award!
Talk about a rush! I got all blushy and giggly and so many people congratulated me afterwards, it was absolutely amazing.
Thanks to Karamu Quilters and Cushla's Village Fabrics for my wonderful prizes. And I would add a photo here of my great big box of goodies, except I'm posting this from my iPad and I can't figure out how. So once I do, except a goofy photo of me next to my ribbons!
My name is Charlotte, sometimes known as Ms Lottie, occasionally as The Slightly Mad Quilt Lady. This is my blog, where you'll find me writing a lot about my quilting and textile arts and a little about my family's life in a small seaside town in New Zealand. Haere mai!
Congratulations!! Wishing you a fantastic Symposium
ReplyDeleteSqueeeee! How exciting! Turn your ipad round to face you and use the camera, it's on an icon down the bottom of the screen somewhere. But don't ask me how to get a photo onto blogger from your ipad....ipads and blogger don't go well together imo
