Good morning everyone! It’s a beautiful day to announce some winners for the the first Project QUILTING Challenge. I’ll start with the public vote winner. What will the quilt with the most votes win!? 
A mini thread box from Aurifil!!!!! 
And there very own set of Project QUILTING pins! 
Congratulations to Leah of Quilted Delights and her quilt “New Year’s Kiss” for recieving 191 votes!!!! Now let’s see who our random winners are. Typically I have all three of my girls draw from the hat but I have to say – my big girls are BUSY! 
It’s hard to find time when we’re all ready for this at once … so for this time, Pip did the honors of drawing the winners. 
65 names went into the hat (Diane and I can’t win so I didn’t put our names in).
Prize 1
“Quilting Gift Certificate” for $30.00 off the Quilting on a Baby size quilt or larger. (Baby, Lap, Twin. Full, Queen, or King) from Marcia’s 
Crafty Sewing & Quilting. The Gift Certificate will be good for 4 months starting one month after the challenge ends. Excluding the Month of December for using the gift certificate. The quilting gift certificate is transferable to another person, so you can share it with a friend, if you’d like. Marcia will do an estimate based on the size of the winner’s quilt top, quilting choices, thread choices, and batting and if they would like to purchase backing fabric from me. Winner can send backing fabric and batting with their quilt top, but I do have it available. This way the winner will have a good estimate of the value of your quilting prize. The first winner is … 
TweLoQ Alida! Congratulations!
