JoAnnHoffman Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Did you know there there was a virtual quilt show? I entered my quilt Midnight Blossoms in the Aurifil Spring contest in a virtual world called http://www.secondlife.com You login in and visit Caravane City and join a group called "Quilters in SL" You get a perfect avatar body and you can visit and chat and travel the world. My avatar is in the green dress. I won a real suitcase full of Aurifil thread and got a virtual ribbon. Alex Veronellit presented me with First Place. How funny is that. I know it all sounds so strange, but it's very cool. Here are some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoAnnHoffman Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Yes it's Alex from Aurifil thread. We all said he had too much gel in his hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Definitely too much gel in the hair!!! LOL!!! Oh and I have to add that I have seen JoAnn's Midnight Blossoms last May at MQS and I gotta say that it is absolutely gorgeous IRL. Photos (virtual or otherwise) don't do it justice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
