I'm not very computer savvy. Tried to make 3 nominations last night, entered their name and website and my email, had no photos to add. Nominees not there. HELP!

Its easy to upload a picture - find a picture of the person on their site - right click your mouse over the image - click copy image's location - then when you link up - there is an option for web URL - right click paste - the location will be pasted and picture should show up!

I have read the page three times, read the tutorial and still can't figure out what to do. Too jumbled up and confusing for me to nominate. Good luck to all the nominees that have been listed.

Mary Ann said...

I nominated several and was very happy to see several others that I would have nominated myself, had they not already been there. Congratulations to all the nominees!

I nominated my favorite quilt shop in Melbourne, Florida, Quilts and Lace. The husband and wife team run the store and are both absolutely adoreable. Good luck to Allan and Aira.

Thank you for again sponsoring the Golden Quilter Awards! I witnessed the joy of a designer and shop owner in being nominated last year. These awards are appreciated by all who are nominated. Again, thank you!

Thanks for the opportunity to nominate some of our favorites!

Well as usual I read the rules AFTER I linked up so I anticipate that one of my nominations will be removed. Problem is I get more quilting done to the quilting podcast and video teacher non professionals than I do to the PROFESSIONALS. They make the process seem like... I CAN DO IT TO... I think it might be a new category for you... WHO INSPIRES YOU THE MOST IN YOUR QUILTING...and open it up to non professional / hobby-ist who actually inspire quilting.... JUST MY OPINION. Sorry I broke the rules.... NONNIE

I always enjoy these awards. So many talented quilters. I was going to nominate Lynette Jensen for the Lifetime Achievement award, but I see that she has closed her website. So I did not know if she would qualify. Thanks for all of your hard work.
