«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 629 Newer› Newest»Wow, I have a lot of catching up on the online stores. I usually shop at quilt stores in my area (or on vacations) but they are slowly going away. I may have to check out the online stores more closely.
Please, everyone, shop locally whenever possible!
What an amazing group of the most talented and creative quilters. I think every single one of them is a winner! Thanks for hosting the Golden Quilters Awards.

Angela Walters FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best of luck everyone!
I didn't vote on a couple because I don't use any quilt software and am completely unaware of the brick and mortar shops listed. But I love voting!
Such a wonderful selection of nominees! It was very hard to choose a favorite. Good Luck to all the noms!
Hard to vote! Great list!
Thanks for bringing all these wonderful quilters together and acknowledging that each and everyone have contributed hugely in there own way to the quilting world and in their own way they are helping us follow our dream and pass it on to future generations.
Sure was hard to decide on some of those categories. How can I decide on just ONE favorite favorite fabric designer??? :)
abengel(at)zoominternet(dot)net
Good luck, everybody. You're all winners!
Congratulations to all those nominated!
It's hard to pick just one in each category. But it's fun to figure it out and go check out new shops, books & tools.
I keep trying to vote for a favorite, but the vote is not registering! I LOVE Jenny Doan, but when I try to vote for her for Best Instructor and LifeTime, its not taking my vote. I dont want to try and vote for anyone else, in case that person takes a vote away from Jenny. Why is it that all the other categories work, except for hers?
Congratulations to all. Thank you for the opportunity to vote for my favorites.
Congrats to all the nominees and to my favorites. Good luck to all.
Wonderful nominees -- I am ready to check out some new online shops, too!
Mary White - your google account settings are not setup to where I can reply to you directly. E.G. they are setup at a default level that bloggers call a no-reply blogger. Not sure if you'll see this message, but if you email me I'll try to walk you thru what you need to do to vote.
In each category, if you haven't voted you should see the little image that has the word vote followed by a star. Simply click on that symbol, underneath the nominee you wish to vote for. Once you've submitted your vote for the category you'll see what the total nominations are for that category.

Congrats to all the winners and other nominees.
Congratulations to all of those who were nominated--you have made a difference in every one of our lives!
Congratulations to all nominees! Well-deserved. To SewCal: The only section I found confusing was the Lifetime Achievement award - in my experience, once a person has been awarded an LA award, their name isn't usually submitted again for that award (think Oscars).
So many great nominees, it made it hard to choose. Congratulations to all!
I found some new teachers/designers/authors/products/inspiration by checking out some of the nominations I wasn't familiar with...thanks for promoting awareness and expanding our knowledge base!
such a wonderful group, it was hard to choose!!!!
Good luck to all the nominated. I would like to vote for many of you, but I had to chose the ones I know the best.
Too many great people and categories and too few votes. Good luck everyone! You are all winners in your own way.
There were some hard choices. Can't wait to see who wins.
good luck everyone!
Congratulations to all nominees. You all do great things for the quilting community.
Good Luck to everyone!

Good Luck to all the wonderful nominees. It was very difficult to choose just one.
Great nominations although some are really young to be up for a "life time achievement" award.
Well done to all the nominees - some very talented people there!
