On Saturday was the Glenorchy Spring Flower show, and since I somehow found myself helping out…I was able to listen in to the judges comments. I really would like to learn more about cut flowers and daffodils in particular.
I plant daffodil bulbs every year. Usually I grab a bag when I see them for sale in the warehouse. I thought I had a premier bloom this year, but a touch of green colour on the petals put it out of the running. - Oh well, there is always next year.
I love having all the daffodils in the house afterwards. They smell divine.
Happily I did much better in the hand craft section. I won a cup for the most outstanding exhibit (Dragon certainly looked impressive sitting there amongst the quilts and knitting) and a prize for most points.
The prize was a registration pack for the Remarkables quilting symposium being held in Queenstown next year.
I had a look at their book last night. They have a huge line up of classes and workshops to attend, not all of them to do with quilting, there are quite a few that are aimed at the fabric artist.
Obviously next year is to be the year of the art workshop.
I’m still waiting to hear if I was successful at getting some funding to help reduce the cost of the workshop. Maybe next week…

Fantastic news, corrine, about your dragon! I'm so glad she did so well! And a registration pack for next year's event - that is really, really good!!! And let's keep our fingers crossed on Nina and funding. I'm still in!!
Congratulations on your prizes at the show, Corrine! Your dragon is a really amazing piece of art. Fingers crossed that you get the funding you are hoping for.
