We Have Winners!
September 16, 2012 in Uncategorized
The judges have spoken!! They spent last week agonizing over your outstanding quilt entries. The general consensus I received from each of them was “This was TOUGH!” There were so many beautiful quilts and I personally was so impressed with the variety of ways this ruler can be used.
Thanks to each of you for entering and making our EZ Dresden Quilt Challenge a success. We had almost 70 entries, some even from overseas. I’ll be contacting the winners this week to get your mailing addresses.
And now for the Judge’s selections (drum roll please):
Grand Prize(1stPlace): Jenny Cameron (Innovative)
2ndPlace: Joanna from Shape Moth (Innovative)
3rdPlace: Lee from Freshly Pieced (Mini)
