Hope you saw the Brits, Sally!!
Liz Jones,2) just 20 miles from me! - and Phillippa Naylor. I've taken
a lesson from Phillippa and Sandy Foster was having one at Houston with
her. She won one of the quilting prizes.

I'll have to look again to see if there were any more mentioned. Some
amazing work on that site - quite stunning collection.

Am I the only one who sort of wonders why the "giants" of the quilting
world are still competing, still sort of soaking up the top spots in
the big competitions? I mean, I'm seeing names on the winners' list
(and truly amazing art that just knocks my socks off) who I consider
in a league of their own; they'll be written up in art history books

Part of me is thinking that they should "retire" at least for awhile
after so many wins or at least take a break. But then I realize that
this is how they make their name and their $.

Since it is not as though any of them are in the way of my winning
anything, I guess I'm not going to worry about it.

Howdy!

Do we then decide that award-winning singers, actors, artists
can no longer win awards because they have their trophies?
"You've already won Olympic medals so no more contests for you!"
"Fire the race car drivers because they've already had their moments
in the winner's circle." "Sorry, rodeo stars, you've had your ride,
take your ribbons and go home." "All you Winners: beat it! No repeats!!"

Perhaps the same quilters keep winning the awards because they
keep entering their finest work. And they do work at it, don't they? ;-)

R/Sandy- I think I remember saying, "sometimes 'adequate'...isn't"
