Winners of the Pets on Quilts Show



The 2011 Pets on Quilts Show is officially over, but you can still view all the entries at your liesure.
There were 109 entries this year (66 entries in the 2010 Pets on Quilts Show).  And, we had  5,000+ visitors to the show this year!

I want to recognize and thank all of the sponsors for this show and I hope you will also thank them and support them too, when you have the opportunity.  They've been very generous donating wonderful prizes.
Thank you to everyone that entered this show.  You are all truly winners and the show wouldn't have happened without you entering!  We had a large variety of entries from dogs, cats, fish, birds, llama, EQ designs, and art quilts and everyone was delightful.  But, for added fun, like many shows, we have the Winners of the Viewer Choice Awards, which were based on nominations of viewers.  They are:

Other winners were randomly drawn based on a number of categories (e.g. PR Angels,  those that entered the show, those that came to the show to have fun and view the show, those that took time to view all the entries and leave a comment on the post of the entry, those that voted for Best of Show, Best of show winners, etc.).  And, as there were a few winners of last year's show where a particular sponsor never did ship the prize, when those winners came back to participate in this show, they were automatically given a prize.    Once all the names were identified for the 26 prizes, I did my best to match winners up with the prizes that some of you expressed an interest in.

Congratulations to all of the lucky winners!  I'm sending out emails to all of them today, to let them know and confirm they want to claim their prize.  If they do not claim their prize within 3 days I will draw another winner.

 I hope you will come back and participate in the 2012 Pets on Quilts Show, or come back and have fun viewing the entries. 
Please remember that there are pets living in shelters that need good homes.  If you have room in your heart and home, I hope you'll consider adopting one.  You may also want to consider making a quilted pet bed, or quilt, for an animal living in a shelter to have a cozy home.  But do check with your local shelter to see if they have any special bedding requirements before you do sew.

Squeal!!! I won a book that I have been eyeing for quite a while! Thank you so much for both the opportunity to win, and for all the enjoyment I had looking at the different entries, etc. Such a fun time! (I am going to make some blankies for a rescue - I think that is an awesome idea and I will talk with a local rescue group that I see at our Petco on the weekends, they probably would LOVE to have them!) Thank you again!!
