I'm living it up at the quilt show here in Florida, where I added a couple of new ribbons to my stash for the studio. The quilts are magnificent, and the show is really over the top this year. They even had a gals quartet singing around the show floor. Cool!
My friends are all here working the show in one capacity or another, and I did some white glove as well as helping in the silent auction. Last night they had a lovely wine and cheese reception for the members. That was nice, too.

| First came the judging. I was a scribe both days. |
 |
| The girls held up the quilts for the judge and we feverishly wrote down every word she said. |
 |
| After the show was set up, they threw the reception for the guild. Our show chair, Rochelle, did the honors of announcing the winners. |
 |
| Someone finally liked my fun animals! |
 |
| My colorful quilt got a second place ribbon. |

My friend, Audrey's quilt was right next to Dotties!
Audrey scored a third place ribbon for the quilt that I also quilted. |

She also got an honorable mention for her entry in the special exhibit,
Follow the Sun. |

I quilted this Halloween quilt for Audrey.

My customer, Mary, got a third place for her beautiful quilt. I am so lucky
