Wow, I am simply bowled over by the talent on the TQS Forum!
Janet, you have created yet another visually stunning and highly original masterpiece! And if that weren't enough, you are a seemingly endless fount of clever wordplay! "No L", indeed! Congratulations on your best of show, so richly deserved.
Valerie, I follow and enjoy your blog, but had no idea until today that you are a TQS member too! (Where ALL the best quilters hang out!) Your stockings are beautiful, and a real treasure for your children. After all, how often does Santa get to leave his gifts in a PRIZE-WINNING stocking?
Nancy, your quilt is gorgeous! I love the subtle coloration, and the intricacy of the quilting. Be sure to post a picture of it with its ribbon when it comes home. And as for your cash award, I DO hope that you are planning to spend it for quilting stuff!
BJ, Best Surface Design...wow! The judges really hit the nail on the head with that one! It is wonderful to see you be recognized for the thing you do so very well. And quilts in Houston, too! You are on a roll, girl!
