I won!

I won...I won...I won....
I've never won a quilt competition before...some seconds and thirds, but no first....
Until this week!
I won a $25 gift certificate to my local fabric store...Sew n' Save...how will I spend it?
Below is my quilt, tho I still didn't feel like it was done. I had planned to add some more sea shells to three of the blocks and maybe some more printed words or poems
The photo isn't the greatest, so my quilt, following the theme of Summertime, has:
Sailboat under exploding fireworks, watermelon, flowers, flipflops, starfish, kites flying, the American flag with the Pledge of Allegiance printed out, a sunshine and a pioneer wagon (Utah was settled officially on July 24, 1847.
I've also included the other winners...in the Non Beginner Group with me...
Second: Sandy

Third:Connie

And the one and only entry in the beginners group....


1st: Cathi
Aren't the ladies of my group amazing...alot of competition!
Now, how will I spend my winning, when I made the goal NOT to purchase any new fabric or patterns this year...I feel like I need to give into temptation!
