Greetings!
Just a reminder that we are hosting a Hat Competition in celebration of our 15th anniversary and hope you will consider entering.
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. There is no deadline for entering but your finished hat images must be submitted no later than January 29, 2010.
Get started now to avoid a last minute panic. Information on how you can enter is below.
Entrants
must be a subscriber to the judithm e-newsletter. The
newsletter is free. If not already a subscriber, visit our website

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.
Winners will be announced in early March 2010.
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 either the 70/30 blend or full wool in any
of the colors listed on our webs site. 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.
