    I was at the Hampton show and was able to see your Sheep crazy quilt up close! It was one of the most unique quilts I've ever seen. I took a photo and returned home to purchase the pdf!
    Congrats on your winning!! Loved it and hope that mine will turn out as beautiful as yours!
    Thanks for the inspiration : )
