2006 Small Wonders VIII - Finalist!


"Gifts From the Sea" 10"w x 16"h - cPat Dolan 2005

I just received word from Vicki Mangum and Darla Hartmann of Quilt Festival Special Exhibits that "Gifts from the Sea" has been accepted as a finalist in the 2006 Small Wonders VIII contest. Finalists will be exhibited at the Spring International Quilt Festival (April 7-9 in Rosemont, IL) and at the International Quilt Festival in Houston (Oct. 28-Nov5). I'm totally surprised and thrilled - the competition among the embellishing art quilters is amazing, so just being selected for the exhibit is a high honor.

So there's much Happy Dancing in NJ tonight!

Woo hoo!! So happy for you. It is a lovely piece. I didn't have anything small enough to enter. I wanted to enter the beaded fish piece, but it was too big in one direction.
