I found out some very exciting news last week, but wanted to share it with the lovely ladies(and gentlemen) in my local Modern Quilt Guild, before sharing it here. Well, we had our meeting last night, so it’s time to share with you all as well…..
I am so very honored and excited to find out that my “What’s For Breakfast” Quilt was chosen to be in the Modern Quilt Guild Showcase at the Houston Quilt Market this fall!!! Wow–really?? Someone pinch me!!
The 33 quilts that were chosen will also be traveling to various other quilt shows and markets. It’s pretty exciting news for me and my quiet little improv quilt.
A little off topic, but I couldn’t help also sharing the genisis of my blog title inspiration. My three little “blooming poppies” and I spent a bit of time at our local Botanic Gardens- a favorite little day trip destination for us.
It is in it’s full spring glory right now with poppies, and catcus blooms and the like. Our state flower however, the prolific California Poppy is definitely most prominent….. and blog title inspiring apparently!
Have a beautiful day!!
