A month or so ago I saw a post on Facebook about a contest that Sew News was sponsoring for a possible spot on their show Sew It All.
So I thought, "why not?" I submitted a piece and then actually forgot about it.
A free days ago I received this message from Ellen March, the editor of Sew News;
Hi Rhonda!
Thank you so much for entering the Sew it All Casting Call contest! We love your blog and project/demo idea.
You have been chosen as one of the five finalists to present a 5-minute excerpt of your project at the Puyallup Sewing & Stitchery Expo on Sunday, March 3 during the Coats & Clark charity event in front of a live audience.
Thank you so much!
Sincerely,Ellen March
WOO HOO!!!!! I'm going to Puyallup, Washington!!!!! I'm so excited!!!
You can see the Sew News blog post about the event and the other very creative finalists here, http://www.sewnews.com/blogs/sewing/2013/02/05/sew-it-all-tv-casting-call-finalists/
Wish me luck!!!!
Just a quick little note.
I must say thank you to all of you who drop by and read my blog. You've made my Fabulous Free Pattern Friday Pinterest board my most followed board and in turn you are helping me to see a dream realized. It's because of all of you that this has happened for me and I am so very grateful. Yes, I would love to win, but in reality, I am already a winner. I win each and every time you take time to read my blog and your comments are like icing on the cake.
From the bottom of my heart,
Thank You!!
Rhonda
Congratulations, Rhonda! Of course, this means we will miss seeing you at Haute Couture on March 2, right?

ReplyDeleteYou are so worthy and such a giving spirit, you deserve the accolades. I will always be in the background yelling your name and supporting your efforts (former cheerleader here). I am a daily reader of your blog and look forward to you announcing your future successes and recognition of your efforts. Your friend.....

Hi Cynthia,
DeleteYou probably won't believe this, but I have kept in my inbox a message that you sent me last May,
"You are so creative, and I admire your abilities and drive! My wish is that you become a contestant on next season's "Fashion Star!" You would win,....hands down!"
There was something so very special about that message for me. You believed in me and made me believe in myself again. Thank you.
I wish you all the luck in the world, because you deserve it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations
