Disappointed?

Thursday morning, I dropped off my quilts at the Japanese Cultural Centre for the YHQG show. I was sooooo excited. In the evening, I went back for a "hostess orientation". All the quilts were hung. I was not enamoured of the way they looked hanging with all the others. Perhaps because of their size (one a baby quilt, the other a lap quilt) they were so dwarfed by the all the doubles, queens and even kings. And as I have previously mentioned, my quilting skills are not amazing. So I was disappointed.
But then I started thinking, yeah, but who else used vintage 36 year old family fabric with a story? And who else made a baby quilt and then found out she was going to be a grandmother?
So there.
And everyone has to start somewhere. I'm not kidding myself that I'll ever be known for my exquisite quilt artistry. But I do hope to hear, yeah, my mother, grandmother, friend, or someone made it herself.
I am hostessing today at the show and hope while eavesdropping to hear favourable comments. And if not, what do they know anyways?

In other news, I am just about finished ripping out stitching on my "Autumn Wrote". My free motion stitching with the variegated threads sucked big-time. Even after I bought the topstitch needle, changed the tension and used a lighter weight bobbin thread. So once I finish ripping, I will hand stitch rain in the variegated thread. Of course the back of the piece now looks eh, butI just want to finish it and get started on my next piece.
