    Tony, please tell MB that she's got my vote! It's spectacular! I've always admired people who quilt. I can make garments but quilting just baffles me.

    Tony, that quilt is just awesome!! The colors and fabric print choices are wonderful, and the pattern is incredible! It's the perfect 'flower' for our group, isn't it?? (my first thought was flower and butterfly!) MaryBeth will have my vote, for sure, and I have lots of 'quilty' friends and family members to whom I'll share this website! They'll love it, for sure! Thanks for sharing 'wifey's' gift talent with us.

    That is a beautiful quilt Mary Beth! You have my vote for sure!
    I have 2 that my Grandmother made and when my Mother died she had one started and I had my DSL finish it for me.
    They are great herlooms for the family!

    Thanks everyone for checking it out, there are soooo many great quilts posted on that site it will be interesting to see how it all goes. I kinda like the fact that there are prizes to be had by both the quilters and the voters. I have never seen it dont this way anywhere else, it makes good sense to me.

    And Felix, you must have been serving some potent beverages to get those comments from your guests!

    The picturs they posted of your place are great !

    Tony,

    Tell her she has my vote too! What a "one of a kind". I checked out the site to look at the others. They all look liked they were trying to copy something. Your Wife's work looks so unique and artistic.

    Nothing says comfort and security like a homemade quilt.

    Tony, Tell her she has another vote coming from me! What a beautiful quilt! My Grandmother was the quilter in our family and I have always admired people who had the patience and skill to produce such works of art!

    I have some unexplainable news here......

    Evelyn, with her keen eyes noticed this in the voting section rules.

    "This Voter Drawing is governed by U.S. law and is subject to all federal, state, and local laws. Void where prohibited, including Florida, New York, and Rhode Island"

    I have NO IDEA what this truly means. If I find out I will post something on it.

    I am bummed.

    Hi D'Ann........

    It took me a while to figure it out too, BUT I got it now.

    Take a look under the quilt itself and there should be an icon that says something like 'VOTE FOR THIS QUILT'. Select that and then fill out the info and you are complete.

    I still dont know anything about the rules of winning in Florida. It bums me out to even think there would be a reason to not include Florida.
