Thank you to everyone who posted pet pictures in Show & Tell. We found ourselves grinning constantly as we ran our cursors over each one. It's amazing what friends these pets become and we are thrilled by the number of pets that were rescued. Here are our top two winners. They will receive a special Quilting Goodie Bag.
If you haven't had a chance to view these pictures, go to Show and Tell. For those who have Show & Tell set to BOM, you will have to click on "Show All" to get back to the other Show & Tell entries. We will make these pictures invisible at the end of the week and get back to quilting. So check them out right away.

Quit watching that TV and wipe that smirk off your face if your team won! It's time to vote. All the pictures were great and the stories were heartwarming. Pets play an important role in our lives and in the life of our vacuums. So vote by emailing the name of your favorite picture to pets@thequiltshow.com. Put the screen name and title of the picture in your email subject line. That way we can count the vote without opening each email.
The voting will go through Monday, so all time zones can get their favorite counted.
Go to Show & Tell to see the entire wonderful menagerie.

What's is going on here? It looks like two quilters up to something - hmmmm. Hint, the action is in Alex's digs. What is your guess?

Ray of Light
American and Indonesian fabrics were used in this quilt which Jinny began in December 1976 and completed in October 1977. In 1977, this quilt was the winner over 10,000 entries in the Good Housekeeping and U.S. Historical society contest, The Great American Quilt. The Hindi translation of "Ray of Light" is "Kiran," the name of Jinny's daughter, who was born while the Beyers lived in India. (From www.jinnybeyer.com)
"It isn't like I sat down one day and said I want to be doing what I'm doing today, it's just like a slow road and you kind of just keep following the doors that open." - Jinny Beyer
Good advice for the New Year!
