Final Winners and a cool quilt:-)

Congratulations to Linda G for winning the last day's pattern drawing, she got the chickadee pattern.
After I drew that, it was time to draw for the two chickadee cards. My mom has been saying all week that she was going to win. So I told my kids before I did the drawing that if Grandma won, I would send her a card, but draw again for the contest. So, wouldn't you know, the first drawing was Grandma. So I drew again, and guess what? Grandma again. Out of 165 entries, of which she had 7. Good grief! I drew two more, and those lucky winners are Marilyn Coombs and Gill, congratulations!!
Thanks so much to everyone who participated, it's going take me awhile to sort through all the great ideas, I should be busy for the rest of my life!

Now it's back to reality...I've been saving this picture until the contest was over. I recently taught a new class on designing a quilt based on a photo. This quilt was made by Jan, one of my students. She did a great job! The picture is a bit blurry, and it's hard to see details, like the thread sketched irises, but it turned out great! (I think it's about 36 inches wide.)
