Winning the Marie Osmond Quilting Challenge

AND THE WINNER IS!!!!!!!!!

This has been a very exciting day. I found out this am at 4:30 that I had won the challenge. I just sat here for about 15 minutes waiting for it to soak in. I am very thrilled to be the winner and it will be fun getting all that "stuff" A woman wrote me today and sent a list of all the negative things about the Janome 11000 she could find. They may all be true, but hopefully they won't be. Some were having problems, some were not. I will keep my fingers crossed that their problems are human error.

Many of you voted for me, and I want to thank all of you. I could not have won this challenge without your support. I appreciate you all.

Hugs to you all,
Dean

Class Today

I am sitting here thinking about the challenge when I should be getting ready for my class. It is out of town, guess I had better get it in gear and get ready.
I forgot, if anyone wants to vote, here is the address.

Marie Osmond Quilt Challenge

Well, I made it to the top ten. How exciting is that. I took a short workshop at the quilt shop and sewed on the new 11000 Janome. It is an awesome machine, and I wouldn't have any problem at all winning one. I may or may not win, but I feel I have already won, just to get this far. I am having a lot of fun, but hate the waiting.
