Golden Quilter Awards giveaway

Excuse my absence, it seems that the party for the Golden Quilter Awards just didn't want to end.  I finally gave up, but I think there are still some winners and fellow quilters that are still celebrating.  But, I was able to sneak away and want to share a few insights about the party.  While, I've already announced the winners of the 2012 Golden Quilter Awards, I thought you'd be interested in learning what participants received prizes that were donated by our very generous sponsors of this event. 

First, I want to share how much I loved visiting with those that attended the ceremony and party.  It was also a blast to see all the outfits that people wore to the party.  Judy Chain (Sew Fun Quilts) wore some super cute silver rhinestone encrusted tenny shoes!  Shame I forgot my camera.  If you were able to get any pictures, of "One Crazy Quilter" dancing on those tables,  please let me know!

And special thanks to Zoomerang, who has sponsored this event and provided use of their robust survey tool to help support processing of the nominations in a confidential and efficient manner, and for the subsequent round of voting for your favorite nominees, to identify the ultimate winners of the 2012 Golden Quilter Awards.

An email has gone out to all of the winners to confirm they want to claim their prize.  If I do not hear back from them, within 3 days, I will re-draw another winner.

Thank you to all of the PR Angels, the Nominating Committee and everyone that took time to help. And, of course, to all of our generous sponsors.  This event just wouldn't be as much fun without all of your help!

And, with luck, we'll do it all again next year. In the meantime, the 2012 Golden Quilter Award winners have well deserved bragging rights for the coming year!
