And, in case you are just joining the party, we are celebrating the completion of our first series of Theme works by sharing some light-hearted awards. Starting on October 12th, we will each post highlighting some of our favorite surprising and silly quilts. We invite our readers to think about what quilts you'd give these awards to and come back to let us know in the comments on those days. Everyone that leaves a comment on these posts goes into a draw to win some freshly minted postcards featuring the theme mosaic shown on our new blog button.

So far Gerrie has presented the "Also Ran" award and Helen has shared "The One I Wish I Had Made...". Coming up are:

• October 14th: Kirsten: Separated at Birth
• October 15th: Terry: Most Creative Use of Materials
• October 16th: Diane: Most Likely to Get Pulled Over By The Quilt Police
• October 17th: Françoise: Biggest Stretch of the Theme
• October 18th: Kristin: How DID She Do That?
• October 19th: Karen: Most Colorful
• October 20th: Brenda: I Would Never Have Guessed (Biggest Departure of Style)
