"All Dressed Up"

"All Dressed Up"

Cherrywood Lion King challenge

Rejected or Not?

          "All Dressed Up" was not accepted into the Cherrywood challenge, does that mean he was rejected?  I'd like to think not.  He will have a permanent home watching over the goings on in my husbands office.   Hopefully he will bring a smile to those that get to see him. 

          Working on this challenge was a learning experience and a demand on completing a project.   I had actually announced that I would not  start or complete the challenge because time was of the essence.  I had been using much of my time to tend to issues that required my time more than working on the quilt.  At the eleventh hour I decided to complete the challenge I'd signed up for. 

           It turned out to be a great diversion from the issues  previously requiring my time.  The challenge made me dig deep into my creative mind and allow it to lead me to creating this fun and 'out of the box' quilt.

           One of the biggest challenges  I continue to need to grow in is the required photo taking of my quilts.  I learned so much on how to work the set up and take photos for this challenge that will carry over to the next challenge I enter (what ever that may be).  

          Was there disappointment because he was not accepted into the challenge, absolutely!  Will there be a next challenge to enter, without a doubt!  

To  the 120 quilters who had their quilt accepted into the challenge, CONGRATULATIONS!  I can't wait to see your quilt at PIQF this year.  

Respectfully,

Barbara
