Time in a Bottle

I submitted in my entry for the Utah State Fair Quilt Challenge this morning. I was there early, but several of my fellow quilters had already turned in their efforts. The Home Arts Building was bustling with people submitting jars of homemade jam, bread and butter pickles, handmade lace, hand-knitted sweaters, and quilts. There were so many quilts. I’m by no means sure of a ribbon in this competition. I feel it’s a good representation of my work; the design, the  piecing, the quilting and even the binding are just about the best I’ve ever done. But I’m afraid I’m up against quilters who could easily put me to shame. So I’ll cross my fingers and hope for the best. Whether I get any kind of recognition at all, I can at least be proud that I finished it in time, and that I did my very best.
