The Mailman Came...

...and left this big envelope:
Could it be...?!?
It was like opening my acceptance letter from university a million years ago.  I held my breath, and then I saw that magic word:  CONTESTANT!!
 My Roundabout Again has been juried into the 2013 AQS Paducah Show in April!!!
Ecstatic is not a large enough word to describe how I am feeling. Apologies to those friends who got awakened with a giddy phone call (well, you should have been up any way by then!) or received one from my almost-dead-constantly-beeping cell phone...(and I can't imagine what my husband's secretary thought was happening!)
You can see pictures of the full quilt here.  The show runs April 24-27 in Paducah, Kentucky.  I am off to charge my phone, I think I've got a few more calls to make *-)
Edit:  You can see the entire list of semi-finalists here

    Will get photos of your quilt hanging as I will be in Paducah again this year. Hope to get better ones than I did the last time as I am concentrating on learning more about my camera settings, etc. CONGRATULATIONS!
