6 out of 10
This is the Tryptich I made for the MicroCosmos challange. As I said before, because I used a recycled envelope and didn't entirely cross out the previous zip code, it never got to Ricky Tim's place. Call me a dope!
Yesterday I went to my quild show. I had entered He Threads My Needle into the show which automatically means that it gets judged. Now please go check out this post.
The judges awarded me a 6 out of a possible 10 for Quality of Stitching. Did you go to the link I asked you to visit?
I know. This is a guild show, and a traditionally oriented one at that. The quilts who won ribbons really showed the tastes of the judges and my work just doesn't fit the mold (thank goodness). I think I will stop entering my own guilds show.
I always get bummed after the guild show. I get encouragement from fellow guild members to enter and then wonder why I bothered. None of the judges get art quilting and continue to judge based on traditional perspectives on the medium.
I am away on vacation starting tomorrow. Very excited! I need to go get ready now.
