Twofold

After the delightful 2nd place win earlier this week, you'd think that would be enough. But remember back in December when I shared that my Fissures quilt was hitting the road? It had been accepted in the "Wall Quilt - Modern" category of the 2014 AQS QuiltWeek® Contest in Phoenix, Arizona, where Common Affection happens to be hanging with the Modern Quilt Challenge exhibit! The show starts today, and believe it or not, Fissures won 2nd place!
What makes this even more exciting than it already is is the fact that my friend Leanne/shecanquilt won 1st in our category!!! I am so thrilled for her, as she inspires and encourages me so much!
Cycles 2
Two of my quilts in the Phoenix show.
Two wins in one week.
Two friends celebrating each other.
Definitely double the fun!
