I auditioned for Sew-vivor Season 2 last year, and sadly wasn't chosen, but it worked out well because something else came up and I wouldn't have been a very good competitor. Well this year, Rachel of Family Ever After announced that Season 3 would be dedicated to Quilting! How perfect is that, I am really into quilting, in case you didn't know. It is kinda what I live and breathe these days. I had to give some thought to my audition piece, and after considering it for a while, I decided to enter my Cosmic Burst quilt. If you are a blog follower, then you saw this finished quilt a few months ago, and if you want to read all the details, you can find that blog post HERE.
This is one of my favorite quilts to date and it currently hangs proudly in my living room, actually the first thing you see when you walk in my house. My favorite precious fabrics, a wonderful pattern, I just love every single thing about it, and I hope you do too!

I would really love to be chosen as a finalist for this Season of Sew-vivor! I just think it will be so fun to compete in a friendly atmosphere that I know the online quilt community to be. Make sure to head over to the Family Ever After blog to see the other auditions, there are just so many fabulous entries, I'm so glad I'm not a judge! Thank you Rachel for hosting another Season and for all the hard work you put into these competitions.
