HOLY COW!!

Those were my exact words when I found out I was the winner of Project Run and Play!  What a complete honor, especially looking at the accomplishments and creations of Jess, Lindsay, those two cute sisters, Kirsten and Jordan, Shauna, Susan, and, of course, my fellow finalists, Kelly, and Ashley!  Right there is a whole heaping mound of talent and creativity!  To be included with these superb seamstresses and to have such fun over the past 6 weeks has been phenomenal.  I have appreciated the different techniques and creativity I've learned from each of them [like the utter magic of Wonder Tape!] as we created each week.  
Great, great women.  
Like I said, an honor.
And after hearing about the scarcity of supplies for Kelly over yonder in Timor, I think we should all send her a giant care package full of zippers, thread, trim, Wonder Tape, and chocolate [because that is a known seamstress snack, no?]!

  3. Many many congratulations - your designs were amazing! I got such a kick out of following along and seeing each of your styles show up in your designs - it was so fun to watch (and actually showed me a lot about my own sewing that was interesting as well).

    My four year old would like me to make many of your designs for her "while I'm at school today mommy." Uhhhh...sure! Worth a try anyway :).

    Congratulations again.
