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.

Are you looking to add an extra spark of excitement to your next quilt project?  Why not try using ribbon floss, hand-dyed silk thread, or Ricky Tims' Razzle Dazzle?  While too bulky for your machine needle, these heavier threads work like a dream in the bobbin. Here's an added incentive: learn how to make the most of your bobbin work in this week's teaching video from Bernina. To watch the video, click here.

Join Ricky, a multi-faceted artist and musician, as he shares his Kaleidoscopic journey (Episode 403) through the quilting world. Learn of his early beginnings as a quilter--he didn't always have the money to use hand-dyed fabrics!--and watch as he designs and builds a Kaleidoscope quilt right before your very eyes. We could go on and on, but we don't want to give away all the fun. There's so much more to see! Watch the show here.

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.
