Welcome to 2011 on my blog. Before I start blathering on and on about what I have planned for this coming year (which is A LOT) I want to show you what I finished my 2010 with. Here it is my McCall’s Challenge 3 quilt. It’s done and on its way to McCall’s at this very moment. I’m calling it Ambrosia and now you can see why my fingers have been so sore. The voting will begin later this week and I will post it here. The word from McCall’s is that the winner will be decided by BOTH online voting and a panel of judges. The decision will be weighted more toward the online voting so, if you like the quilt, please vote as often as you can, which is once a day from any computer (technically you can vote from your computer at home and your computer at work and then your friend’s work computer and so on …you get the idea).
Head on over to Judy’s Blog and see what everyone else is up too. Remember that Florabunda patterns are coming down on Wednesday January 5th so make sure you have your downloads saved.
Erin, I'm in AWE!!! What a stunning piece of work, you have my vote(s)!! Hug from Anita.

WOW! I was awestruck by your work. Ambrosia is beautiful. All the best as you move forward in the competition. You have impressed with your design voice and as a designer you have a point of view that when someone see's your quilts -- they can recognize it as Erin's work. Well done!
