JenniferBernard Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I am so excited!!!! The riding jacket I made for my daughter, Danielle, got juried into Houston!! It has done well at the other national shows taking 1st place in 5 out of 6 shows (it took a 2nd place in the 6th show). It also took Best of Show garment at Machine Quilters Exposition West last fall and has won $1,850 ( but it did cost $800 in crystals and leather to make!) It has won back its making cost! I am over the moon just getting juried into Houston. I have never been to that show. I told my husband if I got notified that I was a winner we WERE going to go to the awards show no matter what! They inform you if you win something in September and the show is not until November. What a happy day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenniferBernard Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I just wish Houston was not so far away from me. It is a 16 hour drive or a $400 plane ticket! I am really yearning to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriVB Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 So excited for you!!! Better be quick with making the arrangements--or you might look into any bus tours--that is what I did when I went to Paducah this spring. For some reason I think there might be someone in your area of Iowa that does quilting bus tours--maybe Johnston?? I will do some more checking for you.
