Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! I Won!

This is the picture I took from the pier in Puerto Colombia and then translated into fabric.
Thanks to everyone who voted for me (or tried to vote) in the Quilting Gallery Travel Inspired Quilt Contest. My quilt, Puerto Colombia, WON!!! 
One proud bird. :)

WOO HOO!!!
Pelican Celebration Party.
I'm excited, thrilled and mostly...honored.
Jumping for joy
And, thank you from Pedro for all the birthday wishes. :) We had a really nice day with him and family. :)
I'm linking to Stamping Ground for WOYWW even though I don't use stamps and ink...or paper...all that often in my art. I still love it...and what those girls (and guys) around the world are making never fails to amaze and delight me.
Sophia's latest project. Anytime she can use the glitter glue...she's happy.
So, what IS on my workdesk? 
The above picture is my stack of work from this week - or part of it - which I'll blog more about later. For now, I'll show you the feather I made for The Magic  Feather Project which is Jude Hill's wonderful idea.
I think it's pretty different from the others she's receiving, but......hopefully, it'll fit in somewhere.
Sophia made a card for Santa this week.
I'm also linking to Art Every Day Month and have been. 

Making art every day that is. 
Sophia liked playing with cotton and glitter and glitter glue so much that she also made a card for Daddy's birthday.
And I'm gonna go get busy with it right now.

  31. Thank you Angie! I so appreciate your compliments. the feather will be in Jude Hill's hands soon and hope it will make someone happy somewhere down the line. LOL - It was my sweet, almost 4 year old granddaughter who played with the cotton! LOL!!! She LOVES the glitter glue and uses it and glitter EVERY chance she gets. :)

  32. NO Maggie!!!! I don't want you to feel tired!!! I want you to be motivated! Honestly, I get a LOT done in small amounts of time. I spend WAY too much time on the computer and not enough...but plenty...with my granddaughter! Thank you so much for your lovely compliment and now....get busy!!!!

  35. Thanks SO very much Jan! I seem to remember from a week or two ago, that you play with fabric too! While I was waiting up last night for my son to come home from Iraq (to his house in Kansas...not here), I started from the bottom of the list and got thru about 100 blog posts!!! But I still plan to visit yours asap!

  36. Well done winning with your quilt. You deserve to - it's beautiful, and really captures the atmosphere of the photo with the ramshackle huts and the mountains in the distance. Very evocative.

  40. Firstly, I’m so pleased for you that your son has come home to his family safe and sound. It must be a nightmare for you all the time he’s away.
    And secondly, congratulations on your win with your quilt. Can’t say I was surprised because it’s a work of art.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog and ……..
    Happy Crafting!
