Rejection

I submitted two bookmarks to the Koffler's bookmark project. I came home today to find them in envelopes in the mailbox. They were both rejected. This was the first time I had ever submitted anything to a juried show so perhaps I should be upset. But I'm not. I now have two bookmarks to give to friends... Or I may turn one into my POM mezuzah piece...

In other news, I have finished the hanging sleeves and labels for the YHQG show. I am quite pleased with the way both quilts turned out, bearing in mind that I am fairly a newbie to quilting and am on a learning curve.

I also finished a baby quilt for Beegee Kideckel. I may just also quilt the last panel I bought at last year's Hamilton Fabricland field trip, since I'm on a roll.

This morning, I started pulling out the fat quarters and cotton fabrics in my stash to see what goes with what. I realize that some of it hasn't been washed so I want to do that and then see what to do with what I have.

Sunday is FibreArts Toronto's field trip to Oshawa. I'm looking forward to it.

That's it, turn your lemons into lemonade!
I think it was very brave of you to submit in the first time. I hope the rejection doesn't deter you from doing it again.
