So happy for you! Congratulations. I love to read and I love to quilt and when the two are combined I am on cloud 9. THANKS for writing this kind of book.

I thought I'd wait until after the Saturday ceremony to see if I earn a Winner sticker. No point in doing it twice since I learned about my Finalist status late in the judging process.

For those who said they want a book, it's on Amazon, B&N, or Smashwords in all eBook formats. Go to my website for a paperback. The link for my website is in my signature line.

The ability to create a lovely quilt design is similar to writing a book. We take tiny bits of fabric or a tidbit of an idea and piece them into an artistic design. I'm not a great quilter--don't consider myself a great writer. I'm humbled by your generous words. Thanks to all of you who sent congratulations. I will let you know the final outcome.

Congrats always admired people who could write. I seem to be a person with few words to say or write.

Ladies if you have not read her book, you really should!
It was great reading! Can't wait for the next one!

Not sure why this picture of Melinda and Me at the local quilt shop came out so small!

Hey, Lisa!! My ever loyal support system in Statesville is still hard at work. Thanks for all you've done.

I'll come there for a book signing again one day. Know you'll be around to spread the word. We had fun that day at The Needle and Thread. Can't believe you uploaded that pic. We're a great looking bunch.
Tell my friends hello.
