I don't normally vote but had to when I saw that you are a candidate. I love your patterns and you give so freely it is a small price to pay for what you do!! I do hope you win...it is so richly deserved.

Congratulations! I must say, however, I'm not surprised. Your quilt really stood out. I would have voted for you even if I didn't follow your blog.

Congratulations!!! I knew you'd be in the finals. Are you allowed to say what the challenge is and/or what you're making for it? How many do you have to do?
I can't wait to see it.
