Unexpected Goodness

During Easter dinner, a phone call came in (went to voicemail).  It was from the president of AQS, informing me that I was receiving an award from the Paducah quilt show, which is set to open this week.  I know well enough that they only call when it is one of their higher awards.  I have no idea what it is, but any award is a good award.  If it truly is one of the top awards, I may not be bringing that little quilt home.  I made the decision last night to make an impromptu (and rather pricey) trip to Paducah today, for the week.  More good news to follow soon...
