| Horse Feathers |
Once a year, my local quilt guild hosts a quilt show. Last year, I had a quilt hanging in the show, and this year I was supposed to have three. But between working full-time and having a full life at home as well, I ran out of time to complete the third quilt. But two quilts are better than none!

| Pueblo Pots |
I entered my mystery quilt, which I named Horse Feathers. It features a lovely deep blue Laurel Burch fabric plastered with colorful little horses, as well as lots and lots and lots of feathers quilted on it - including 18 feathered wreaths. Whew! The border has a running feather/cable quilting motif as well.
I also decided to show my Pueblo Pots quilt. This was completed for a national contest a few years ago, and won third place. I still feel thrilled about that. I'm not sure I'll ever achieve something like that again in the quilting world, but it was nice to have been able to do it when I did.

| It's a tote! It's a cupcake! It's both! |
This year, for the second time, my daughter also made something for the show. Last year, she made her first quilt. This year, she made a small, quilted tote bag, resembling a cupcake, that was adorable.
The show is a fun way to help me get stuff done - in other words, a deadline!
I'm already plotting next year's entries...
