Reading Between the Fabrics: Announcing Our Book Fabric Contest Winners

Books on fabric may not be nearly as much fun to read, but on the other hand they're much easier to pack up and move, and less likely to smell musty. This was an unsually close contest, and the winner is first-timer JeAnna Casper (addilou) with "A Wise Old Bookend." I think the top ten are all begging to become lampshades for libraries.

The final votes:

1. 715 votes for A Wise Old Bookend by addilou 
2. 702 votes for Staxx by pennycandy 
3. 655 votes for final_books by erytheia 
4. 557 votes for Reading and Writing by gsonge 
5. 485 votes for Book Shelf by lauredesigns 
6. 458 votes for Quiet Time by kayajoy 
7. 420 votes for My bookshelf by newmom 
8. 418 votes for basic bookshelf by avelis 
9. 414 votes for Great Lines of Literature by ceanirminger 
10. 407 votes for I write, you wrote, we should all have written! by verycherry
