Quilt Challenge Winner on Today Show Jan 9
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. -Michele in NYC (I really miss the AOL newsreader) Michele in NYC wrote: Good morning, I didn't see this posted yet.

Quilt Challenge Winner on Today Show Jan 9
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 Ragmop/Sandy On 1/9/07 6:41 AM, in article , "Michele in NYC" wrote: Good morning, I didn't see this posted yet.
