Every week when I go to vote I’m not able to see all the entries. This week there were 8 entries & I could only see 6. I must be missing a page 2 or something but I’ve looked everywhere & can’t figure out how to view the rest. Please help. Thanks
Love the quilts, love the theme. Nice work!
Hi Ann Marie,
Do you know what web browser you are using? I’ve tested in several, and I don’t see the problem you are describing. Can you send me a screen shot? Also, do you know if you have your fonts increased?
Thanks Ann, I love the fabulous colours of these quilts. Very hard to choose just one.
Cheers,
Michele
