Well, I have entered the world of quilt show business. I have had my "body" of work accepted for a very large fiber gallery show. A one woman show for two months. This is all more than my ego can process tonight. I am having wine and potato chips to celebrate.Tomorrow, I will wonder about the business cards I need. The post cards I need. The poster the gallery will be making to advertise "my show". All the aspects of this SURPRISING development that was offered to me at 3 pm on Friday. I am having trouble believing all this is happening to ME! ME! ME! Tomorrow I will work on the "price list".
I worked all weekend and called out of work Monday, to keep working. Last night when I went to bed, I was sure it was all for nothing. I had hit the "wall" of complete exhaustion. My dear husband was sure of my success. He is always my best supporter. His job, this morning, was to deliver the works of fabric art to the gallery for examination, while I returned to my job.
The gallery director called me at work, happy. So happy. And I am still in shock. They liked my work. They really liked my work.
So okay. I think maybe my feet will touch the ground any minute now.
Or not.
I am so very very happy for you, I am sitting here grinning from ear to ear. You are GOOD, very very good. Now I only hope you can start believing it too.

How I wish I could say your work in the gallery. I have admired some of your pieces just by seeing them in the internet - I can only imagine what they look like for real. I am so happy for you - you deserve this so much because you're so good!
