Oh ... now you're going to put all of us to shame. CONGRATULATIONS!!! Is this the "Make it with Wool" challenge or another one? Inquiring minds want to know. I'll be watching for you in Threads magazine. Happy Stitching! Marty 
It takes one moment to change a life.

Congrats! Since Novi is only about a 30 min ride from me I am planning on going. I have been debating which of the days I want to go, so the day/night of the fashion show/contest sounds like the night to be there. How exciting for you.

You know, I forgot that! Perhaps she could embroider it along the bottom of her dress.

Well done, Jeanette - all this and a move as well! I subscribe to Threads so will be on the lookout. Back in the dark ages when I was about 11 yrs old I won a doll making contest sponsored Seventeen magazine. I hope you have a good time and don't have the hosts that the 10 of us young ladies had at a very plush hotel in 'the big city' - a plot for a short story. I had forgotten all about it till going through some of my mother's pictures.  Cheers and enjoy
