  2. Thanks for the additional virtual tour of the festival, including another look at your 1st place finish. It was a refreshing counterpoint to the wind and snow going on outside my window. Happy Thanksgiving.

  3. So many photos - thanks for sharing them - and so much over the top quilting on those quilts . . . they're fantastic but just not my style. But then, I know I'm not a "show quilter" so that's okay.
