I am so incredibly excited. Why?........Well because I have found out that one of my postcard entries in this year's edition of the Grand National has been chosen as the Viewer's Choice winner.
To me, this is such a great honour, and in addition, I will receive a Janome Memory Craft 6600p from GN's generous sponsor Janome Canada. I can hardly believe it. You can read my earlier posts about the cards I entered and the opening reception here.
In recent years The Grand National has put together an on-line catalogue of all of the entries to that year's show, I hope they are able to do this again because there were some absolutely fabulous cards on display. Not only were these cards quilted but many were also painted, needled felted, embroidered, collaged, had found items on them, if you could think it up it was done and on display.
So I have to say Thank you, Thank you, a million times Thank you to the organizing committee, Janome Canada, Joseph Shcneider Haus Museum, to everyone who took in the show and to those who chose my postcard as their favourite.
I am thrilled, shocked, humbled and did I mention Excited!
