Joe and I are grandparents for the third time. Our younger daughter Lisa has given birth to her first child, a gorgeous little boy. It's amazing the feelings that come from holding him. There's absolutely nothing better! Lisa and Jeremy will be wonderful parents.
The day after his birth, I attended a previously committed to banquet for the Heart of Ohio Quilters Guild. The speaker was Carol Doak and excellent; the food was great; and it was announced that the new Featured Artist for 2010-2011 was me. I knew ahead of time only because they wanted to be sure I would attend. When I was told, I was shocked, and I am still very honored to follow those who were chosen before me.
I have to admit that one of my first thoughts was how am I going to get a bunch of new quilts finished for the 2011 show as there will be a section of my quilts hanging.
An update on my 15 seconds of fame, I have been called the Quilt Police in the newest edition of Quilter's Home -- all because I noticed some dropped stitches on the front of the magazine. I just thought the photographer should have noticed and taken another picture of a part of the quilt that was quilted better. I cetainly am not the Quilt Police and rarely point out flaws, but when it's on the cover of a national magazine, I notice.
So the excitement is back! The birth of Jack William Davis is the best news. But it's nice to be recognized by my peers. And it's ok to be responded to in a national magazine.
