Just got word that I got the lowest score and am out of the Fabric Mart contest. I am not nearly as upset as I thought I might be and am so glad I entered. Thanks for all the nice comments from you all and to Fabric Mart for sponsoring this fun challenge. It has been a ball and best of all I came out of it with 4 finished outfits that are really "me" and I will wear. So if you are ever debating about entering a contest like this I say "Go for It"----I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
One other fortunate thing for me----I am an avid knitter, which has been put on hold for the contest and it is turning into sweater weather here in a hurry. Just got some wonderful new yarn so there will be the clacking of knitting needles around here soon---hope to be back and show you my new sweater when it's done.
Thanks Again to all---
I loved your last outfit. Bummer :( You created some wonderful pieces and you always remained true to your style, so BRAVA!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pieces are stylish and fun!! And you are ready for Halloween! I'm sad to hear that you are out, but glad you have your knitting project in the wings and ready to go!
ReplyDeleteI love all your entries, and you have ended up with some great dresses to wear:)
ReplyDeleteYou were robbed! I loved your last outfit and voted for you. Glad I found your blog through this contest. I have bookmarked it and will visit often. Enjoy your new knitting project. Nancy at PugMom Quilts!
ReplyDeleteI love your attitude in this post...it shows who you really are and why you are such a sweet person! Enjoy your new outfits and get to knitting. Can't wait for you to share those new creations with us!
ReplyDeleteOh man! Hate to see you eliminated. I so enjoyed your creations! But....I'm looking forward to what come off those knitting needles! I'm trying to get a scarf finished--3 more rows of over 1,000 stitches each row....
ReplyDeleteOh man exactly! I love your outfits, and voted for you in 2 of the three challenges. You do have a great attitude, and congrats on getting into the contest and on having such talent and creativity.
ReplyDeleteNooooo! I loved seeing your work each week!!!! But I will be reading your blog all the time still :)
ReplyDeleteRobbed is right. Your entries were so creative and fun to see. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry with this outcome, but I admire your gracious attitude. Congratulations on competing, iterpreting the rules while expanding your creating process. I look forward to seeing how you incorporate this experience into future projects!

I am so sorry you are out, Peggy! I really enjoyed sewing alongside you! And I thought that your last outfit was amazing, especially that wonderful raincoat! But I know you are dying to hit the knitting needles with your new yarn and I know you will be having lots of fun!!
ReplyDeleteI voted for you on the last two. Sorry to hear you are out. I love your style.
ReplyDeleteOh Peg no! Loved your designs. But I will be glad to have you back creating knit & crochet garments!
ReplyDeleteI think they (whoever they are...) are leaning towards more conventional outfits, if the result of the last three mean anything. And you are anything but conventional. Keep up the good work, and look forward to seeing future inspiring creations. Btw, a friend here is an avid knitter, and they just had a big knitting retreat up at Snowbird, sounded wonderful. I'm not a knitter, but can admire from afar...
ReplyDeleteI really hate to see you go!! I'm so glad I got to meet you! Love your personality and will continue to read your blog.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the young ones have more online fans voting. For sure your outfit was far more interesting and creative than a lot of others. Not to worry, it is all in good fun and the prizes aren't anything to cry over not getting. I am sure you will enjoy your outfits. And have fun knitting :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear this. Love your positive attitude, and your outfits. Thanks for sharing with all of us! Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity! Glad you had a whole lot of fun using your fabulously creative signature style while you participated. Now its time to start clicking those needles again ... J
ReplyDeleteI loved your last outfit (and the ones before it)! I'm sorry you are out, but I'm glad that we can now enjoy your unique creativity unconstrained by contest rules.
ReplyDeleteI an very disappointed, I voted for you on this one. I agree, you were robbed. Enjoy your knitting. 8-)
ReplyDeleteI am also so sorry that you are out. I really loved your take on all of the challenges, and you definitely made creative items that were very you. But enjoy then time that you now have back!
ReplyDeleteWell you went out with a bang, your outfit is smokin hot and you are a hoot! I like your artistic flair on this. Party on the outside, business casual on the inside. I want one of each. Can you tell I voted for you? Loving your hairstyle too, short and sassy.
ReplyDeleteOops. Don is really Bobbi but I had no other way to comment, I guess I need to set up an gmail account. But you rock young lady!
ReplyDeleteI loved your last creation! Glad you had fun though, and it's good to know that you would do it again. Enjoy the clickety-clack of those needles now :D
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are out. At least you can get back to doing what you want to do unrestricted by time or rules. At least I got to "meet" you through this.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to see you leave the contest, but I look forward to seeing your new creations! You have a great style and you're very talented. Congratulations on being part of a really fun-to-watch competition.
ReplyDeleteI was sorry to see you go this week. I really liked having someone else similar in age and experience in the contest. I thought we did a great job of holding our own against the talented, cute, younger contestants. Enjoy wearing the wonderful garments you created for the challenges. I am sure your knitting is just as fabulous and creative as your sewing.
ReplyDeleteOh! Dang it! I was so rooting for you! At the same time I was thinking it must be really hard work thinking up ways to meet the challenges so I imagine that part is a relief. I'll check back to see your sweater.Happy knitting! (I don't like to knit!!)

ReplyDeleteBummer...not fair...yours was beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI love what you made - and I think your pack of given fabrics was by far the most uninspiring. So that makes the wonderful outfit you came up with a real tribute to your creativity. Best wishes, Louise
ReplyDeleteWow - I was surprised with this result. You are clearly really creative and artistic - so much flair - loved what you created. Hope you will show more of your knitting creations on your blog - can't wait to see more!!!
