Some commented on the blog, a lot were emailed, and a couple in facebook messages, and also by text. Some try to leave a comment on the blog, and even though they have done it before, they can't seem to work it out again. (Maybe blogger changes things??) No matter, I loved to hear from you.
Some of you have left comments on the blog, and the contact is no-reply blogger, so I cannot reply to you. I would love to get the email address of Flossy Patched Britches, so that I can send you a reply.

You can see there is a big variation of numbers, from 543 right up to 5079. If I had done all edge to edge quilts in those years, I might have reached the high number. I have had time off for 3 surgeries in this time, and renovated a couple of houses, and did a little bit of travelling to and from family. Holidays have been going for a few days on a trip to a quilt show or conference.
I was a bit worried a few days after I put the competition on the blog, as I realised that the invoice number on my invoices is the number I was asking for them to guess. But those who have had quilts done recently don't seem to have worked this out, or at least one might have, but only after she had submitted her guess, and then it was too late.
Sorry to keep you in suspense, as you are waiting for the magic number, which is.......
By my calculations, that means that Raelene is the closest with 2600, and Island girl in second place, with a guess of 2050.
Raelene's entry came by text, in a poem, and I shall post what she said......
"What a quilting life you've had...
that 2,600 quilts we're glad...
They were given your magic touch...
to make them loved quite so much."
I showed a pic of the prize in the last post, and will find something to send to Island girl also.
Thanks for your fantastic response, and I might do another competition sometime this year.
Thanks for reading.
Blessings, From Jude

Wow, I really underestimated your capabilities to work hard and fast! Congratulations to you Jude for such a successful career, with such a happy clientele and all work you do for others.
Hi Judy!
Far more quilts under your belt than I thought . . . wow!
I have ticked a box for follow-up comments to see if that helps you contact me.
If not I'll try some other way. I'd love to hear from you.
Yay for the winners and to you Judy for doing so many quilts!!! xx
Congrats to the winners. I told you I was way out, as I did some calculations too, after I commented. Congrats to you too, on that wonderful total and as I've seen from your blog and in person, you are creative, clever and such a caring person. Have a good weekend & take care.
Wow, I was way off! That is like 162 quilts a year! When do you find time to sleep with all the other things you do? Congrats.
