Silverware for Prometheus

 Somehow I never seem to end up with good pictures from the awards. I feel for Vicky who has to try and get some good pictures for the magazine. Hopefully some of the other winners do a better job of looking presentable :) Anyway, this one is Roger presenting me with the Fran Jones Longarming award. I hope she approved of the quilt. She can't come and check up on it any more, but I think of her, and the help she gave me when I was starting out whenever I see the trophy I won for Miss Baltimore. It's one of those important awards. The ones that carry far more weight and meaning than people would expect.


Usually I try to get a picture with me holding the trophy in front of the quilt, but with 3 cups and a plat that wasn't going to work. Fortunately the big cup comes with a box, so that helped a bit. The ones I am holding are slipping, and slipping fast.

Just to make things more fun is seems everyone's cameras were playing up, so different people have pictures from different parts of the event. I am very glad there were a lot of people with cameras and indeed phones. The first two were taken by Angela from Patchwork Corner on her phone. This next one is from Vicky at Grosvenor, she takes the magazine photos. The plate is the wholecloth award and I really like the fact it comes with a stand.

Finally there is a picture of my stand with it's trophies. When I've won things in the past I've left them on the Patchwork Corner stand to save me carrying them around. Doug, being Doug, tells everyone they are the prize for the best stand at the show. Given they hadn't got a stand this time and I have, I guess that means I won best stand this time :)
