Yes, I said all that talk about Mod Mood was over, but then I came across this photo that I'd forgotten to share, so I'll do that and be done with it. I really do enjoy seeing how my quilts hang in conjunction with others.

Yet while Mod Mood was having her moment of glory, another quilt had some excitement going on too.

Here's what the judges had to say about her:
Not quite as glowing as Mod Mood's evaluation, and I have to agree. That white rectangle? In my scurry to finish the quilt, I forgot to trim it down as I'd intended. And the quilting stitches? One of the main reasons I just got a new machine. But note that '+' by the word 'binding.' Oh yeah, I'll take consolation in that.
But that's not all. On a whim, when I was registering for QuiltCon, I filled in the 'Sale Price' box with a number instead of the routine NFS (not for sale). Well lo and behold, on the last day of QuiltCon, I got an email that Steeped in Tradition had sold! This is a first among firsts!
So overall, I'm more than pleased. Kinda crazy how I didn't even make it to QuiltCon this year, but it sure provided me with plenty of affirmation and joy, just the same.
