I sometimes wonder if there is something wrong with my mental sense of perspective. I've recently discovered one of the ATCs I entered in the House of Cards II exhibition has made it onto the poster, selected from hundreds of ATCs. This gives me just as large a feeling of achievement as winning the European Quilt Show recently. Yet this is a very prestigious event with quilts from over Europe. Maybe it is because when I made my quilts I feel on safe ground. I know I can do it and do it well. ATCs and the other mixed media techniques are still so new to me and I'm still experimenting with all the different techniques. So discovering that they too can be so successful is a revelation. Specially as the one that made it onto the poster is in fact a traditional embroidery technique, rice stitch on canvaswork, only innovation is the addition of a nostalgic fabric image.

Can't wait to see where all this will take me but I'm willing to enjoy my steps on the journey!!
