Quilt Challenge Winner on Today Show Jan 9

Good morning,
I didn't see this posted yet. I just received this email from the
Cotton Club (NAYY).
I know it's not much notice, but maybe some of you can catch it.

Hi Everyone,

We just received news that the grand prize winner of the $100,000
Quilt Challenge will be announced Tuesday Morning, January 9, 2007 on
NBC TV's Today Show. We have been told the winner will be there to
receive "her" check and show her quilt.

We do still have copies of the Premier Issue announcing the challenge
as well as Issues 2, 3 & 4, but we are out of Issue 1. If you aren't
familiar with the challenge and want to know more, go to:
http://www.cottonclub.com/cgi-bin/St...menu-2600.html

In the meantime, please help us spread the word. Feel free to forward
this email.

If anyone did record it this morning, it's on around 9:30 AM EST.

It was a beautiful whole-cloth quilt that was machine (I think) quilted
with amazing details. And the quilter won $100,000; it was a purchase
prize. The quilt now gets auctioned off to raise money for a variety of
causes.

And a new challenge begins for 2007.

Howdy!

Got that email yesterday so I watched the Today show
which I usually don't/won't.

Gorgeous wholecloth quilt displayed, not enough info about how
she quilted it (in 3-4 months) but they did do close-ups on the quilt.

Roker's an idiot; at the end of the segment he grabbed the quilt
and jerked it aside to show the "quilt angels" behind it, 2 large,
burly men wearing white cotton gloves to hold the quilt in place.
They also interrupted the Cotton Club spokeswoman, but what else it new?
Still, they showed the quilt, the quilter, the magazine and discussed
the competition. Way to go! And $100,000 in the quilter's pocket! g
