You are invited to the Golden Quilter Awards Ceremony Party

Time to start thinking about what you want to wear to the Golden Quilter Awards Ceremony!  Everyone is invited to attend this, and I want to share some insights with you about what is going to happen at this fun virtual activity.

First, I want to remind everyone that voting for your favorite nominees is open  through Saturday, March 31st.   If you haven't yet taken time to vote, please click here and submit your vote.  Your vote counts and quilters from all over the world are invited to vote.

Mark your calendar as on Tuesday, April 3rd the 2012 Golden Quilter Award Winners will be announced.  After the ceremony, there will be a big party and sponsors have donated some wonderful prizes.  So, as to not take away of the excitement for the 2012 Golden Quilter Award winners, winners of the sponsored prizes will be announced on Wednesday, April 4th.    Keep reading and you'll learn more on how these winners are selected.  But, to clarify, the Golden Quilter Award Winners get to claim bragging rights and sponsored prizes are given to PR Angels, those that took time to nominate and to those that take time to vote for their favorite nominees!
