I'm taking another 'quill pill'!

Some of you may already have seen this quilled nine-pointed star that I made recently, as I have posted it in a couple of the quilling group albums on Facebook. I originally made it as an exercise in pairing up 'P scrolls and using the 'twist' technique to finish off the ends. But what to do with it? Well, I eventually decided to mount it on to a brooch pin as a piece of jewellery and enter it into this month's 'Take A Quill Pill' challenge, as I haven't entered this for quite a while.

Meanwhile ... well, I've been literally overwhelmed by the response to the news about my WI craft competition success, not just here, but also on Facebook and from my good friends in both the English and the North American Quilling Guilds. Now I'm really hoping that my piece will do well in the national competition finals, because that would generate just the right kind of publicity that's needed to bring the art of quilling into the 'public eye'. To all of you who commented on my posts and congratulated me so warmly, I'd like to say another very big "Thank You" right here. If I failed to respond to any individual post, please forgive me - things went really crazy after I posted my news in various places last Thursday night, and it was very difficult for me to keep up with the response, especially as I was away from my computer for most of the day on Friday. The results from the next stage of the competition will be announced in September, so I'll let you know how I get on.
