I Won A Ribbon!

I did win a ribbon tonight!  Yes!  Honorable mention, but still a winner.  There was about 20 quilts there in the challenge.  AND I beat Bonnie!  She didn't win anything!

Hers is the blue one right next to mine.......

Here is my beauty.  It is really straight, I don't know why it looks cockamamie in the photo.










And here are the other winners:

Sewing at Paula's

Tonight is the night for the REME Challenge.  This is the Black and White Plus a Color Challenge. I got the binding on this one done last night while watching Dancing With the Stars.

Cynthia and I joined Paula this morning in her Quilt Haus.  I cut out the pieces for the next challenge. 

The next challenge is to take a single block and change whatever you need to in it to create a secondary design.  I have the most amazing thing.  I have won at this guilt before, several times.  And this time I will slay them!  LOL

I can't show you either one right now, but tonight I will show you my Don't You Love Her Madly" quilt with the WINING RIBBON!!!!!!!

Yes!

52 Photos - Week 43 - Black and White

Ahh!  Something to give me a break from QuiltCon!  I love BW Photos!  They are so edgy and wonderful.  They make me feel like a such a photo snob!

 It can even make a bad bad dog look sweet!  Yes, here is one of my Bad Basset Boyz in BW.  This photo looks much better then the original.  Because the distracting colors of the quilts in the background are not stealing the show, you see the sleepy boy as the focus.  I like him when he is sleeping! 












Now this photo is interesting.  It is a subject I have given you before, the Louisiana State Capital Building in downtown Baton Rouge, LA.  I love the mist that shrouds the top of the building.  On the original photo it is largely grey and white, so the big change is the brilliant colors of the azaleas along the walkway.  It is a shame to take the color away from them!  These are a deep pink with dark green leaves.

But it does make an interesting composition.

  I left this one in its original state.  When Frank turned 60 Carrie and I gave him a surprise birthday party.  He had no idea!  That was so much fun.

So many of our friends came to celebrate with us.

The center of attention was this wall created by my Interior Designer daughter.  (She is so smart!)  Photographs from our entire lives were collaged on a wall in her beautiful home.    People were fascinated with the photos, all in black and white.

We had such a time talking about this one or that one.  Sharing with our friends who were in the photos.  It was a fabulous way to bring back so many wonderful memories.

And after it was over she gave them all to Frank.
