Greetings!
Judith
M is delighted to announce a WoolFelt™
hat competition in celebration of our 15th anniversary. We thought a
hatmaking event would be the perfect way to observe this milestone.
The competition is to promote hat wearing and honor the hard-working
milliners and hatters of today and is being held in cooperation with
National NonWovens* company. WoolFelt™ can be blocked or used in
cut n' sew pattern work. It has a nice body and weight and comes in a
lot of colors. We hope you will consider entering the contest and
falling in love with this versatile felt.
Information on how you can enter is below.
We see
an upturn in the interest of hats and are excited as we look towards
the future. The number of millinery courses being offered around the
world is well above the opportunities available 15 years ago. Both
rural and urban populations are wakening to the allure of the hat.
As we reflect on our place in the hat world we consider ourselves
most lucky to work with inspiring customers and offer the contest as
one way to express our thanks and gratitude.
The
competition consists of two categories, Blocked WoolFelt™
and Flat Patterned
WoolFelt™. We will award one First Prize and one Runner-Up in each
category, four winners in all. First Prize for both categories will
receive a $250 gift certificate to judithm.com and $500.00 worth of
WoolFelt™. Runners-Up for both categories will receive $150.00 gift
certificates to judithm.com and $350.00 worth of WoolFelt™. The
WoolFelt™ yardage is given by the competition co-sponsor, National
Nonwovens.
We
carry the blend, 70% wool/30% rayon, and the 100% wool. Both
categories, Patterned and Blocked, will be using a 36x36 inch square
of WoolFelt™
for the hat. You may use felt from either blend or full wool, and any
of the colors listed. The only limit to entries is the hat must be
wearable. It can be brimmed or brimless, utilitarian or whimsical.
The theme is your choice.
