And the lucky winners<\/strong> <\/span>were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday<\/strong>: Agnes Wilkerson, Idylwild, California\"Thursday2\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agnes came to Road by bus with her local guild, The Mountain Quilters. She was on the bus waiting to leave when her friend ran out to tell her she had won. A quilter for 11 years, Agnes thought it was \u201camazing\u201d that she had won. \u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve come to Road for several years and I love everything here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday<\/strong>: Lynn Grassel, Gillette, Wyoming\"Friday\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lynn\u2019s favorite color is pink. \u201cI love pink blingy things.\u201d So it was fitting that she won a pink Bernina sewing machine. It was Lynn\u2019s first visit to Road. She came with six quilt buddies and they were having \u201ca blast\u201d taking classes, staying at the host hotel, and visiting the show. Lynn started quilting in 2001 when her youngest child graduated from high school. Going to Road inspired Lynn to want to become an art quilter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday<\/strong>: Susan Nowak, Thousand Oaks, California\"Saturday\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Susan was inside the Exhibit Hall when she heard her name called. This was Susan\u2019s 5th<\/sup> time at Road. She came with friends who met at college at Cal Lutheran and are now all retired. What is she going to do now that she won her beautiful machine? \u201cI plan to do lots and lots of sewing!!\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday<\/strong>: Kristin McClary, Alta Loma, California\"Sunday\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristin had attended the show earlier in the week and was just going to stop back by on Sunday \u201cfor one more item.\u201d Little did she know that a last minute drop of her entry would win her a new electric work station valued at $3,250!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of our winners remarked that they \u201cnever win anything.\u201d<\/span> Just goes to show that it pays to take a chance and enter the daily drawing. Because one day, the winner\u2019s name being called out just might be yours!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
