Contest





I entered the 80s theme Atari Quilt in a quilt contest at my local fabric store. If you live in the Seattle area and have a minute to stop by the Pacific Fabrics location on Northgate Way, it really is a treat to see such beautiful quilts. My quilt has been hung up, on display, among a bunch of gorgeous quilts, I mean, wow! There are some talented quilters out there!
