Janet Collins Textile Arts Award

I am feeling doubly blessed tonight. I just got notification that I have won the Janet Collins Textile Arts Award. Janet and I have been friends over the years. We both participated in the DIY network show Uncommon Threads a few years back and we flew to LA together for the show and were room mates. Janet and I got breast cancer at the same time and unfortunately she is now terminal. She set up a scholarship for mature students of the Textile Arts program and I am honoured to have won. I am reminded how precious friendship is, I will hold her memory in my heart. Thank you Janet.
