Well, today is August 16th and I am finally getting the Winner's Page up for the HATS' Ready...Set...Sew Contest. A long overdue tribute for some simply wonderful entries. Our thanks to everyone that made this contest possible. This was our first contest and we learned many things along the way. However, of all the things that really took us by surprise, it was how difficult it was to judge this contest. From our perspective, all of the entries were "winners." Again, our many thanks to our design and prize sponsors and everyone that entered. You made it a fun event. Take care all and congrats!

P.S. If you click on the entry picture, it will take you that that person's page where you can get a much better view of their wonderful work. Same goes for our prize sponsers, just click on their icon. Although it makes the page heavier to load, I also want to provide you with a link to our Design Sponsor's pages.

P.S.S. If you would like to see our original contest page, please click here.....
