HMQS ...2nd Place at the Quilt Show

I got a voicemail ..."Do you have tickets for the award show? If not you might want to get some and come, it could be really fun for you." So I was so excited to go up and get my Ribbon, when I got back to my seat I was even more excited to open my envelope and see what I had won. It was a note in the envelope that said "Your check or CERTIFICATE is in the mail." They bill this national quilt show as giving $ 24,000 in prize money. I checked the mail and checked the mail, all the while really expecting that since I was only 2nd place I wouldn't be in the money. But... $300. And the ribbon. I am VERY excited about this ribbon at THIS quilt show.
