Child portrait thread painting by jennifer day

I have been working hard on my quilt for Celebrating silver.  I am in the final stretch now!  This is a two year old girl.  I was able to capture her sweet face very well.  I can't show everyone the whole quilt until its unavailing at the IQF show in Houston 2014.  Darn.  I have another two days of stitching left and am up to 87 threads in this quilt!

Tired after a long day thread painting with Jennifer Day

B Bear, the dog, hung with me throughout the completion of the last quilt.  I was on a deadline and spent  many long hours at the machine.  Seems like this put the Old English Sheep Dog over the top!  Now it is down time for both of us for a day before tackling the next project.

Here is what the boy looks like when he is sitting next to me as I sew.  What a difference!

Over the moon - thread painting by Jennifer Day

I am over the moon! I was just notified that my quilt - "Women Helping Others" won first place in The Festival Gallery of Quilt Art:
Traditions Show.

I get my hotel paid for and round trip airfare to Houston. Also a check for $2,500!

Yes...I will be in Houston this year at the IQF show. See you there! — feeling happy.
