Fiber Art Friends have good news

 

My quilting group: Fiber Art Friends, got good news yesterday.  AQS called saying that our Bridge Project won 3rd place in the "Ultimate Guild Challenge" at Grand Rapids.

How exciting to have people enjoy and recognize our work.  This challenge required us to use a recognizable portion of a regional bridge as well as a plant that would grow in our area.  Everyone went to work and we did not see the resulting quilts until "revealing day".  Its always a surprise to see what the others came up with.  Here are the resulting quilts:
