Tales Of A Fourth Generation Textile Executive: Time Is Running Out.

Can you hear that noise? It is getting louder! Tick, tock, tick, tock…that is the noise of time running out on your big chance. Your big chance to win some great prizes, publicity and pride for winning the Peppered Cotton Challenge. Chop chop, get a move on it and upload your project and fill out the entry form by March 31st at midnight. As they say, time is money and fabric and these days we could all use some of both.

I can bear-ly contain myself. Did you happen to see one of the most recent submissions to the contest of the bear made with the Peppered Cottons? I am pretty sure that it is a bear, although when I emailed it to my dad he called it a lion. That’s just semantics anyway….to-may-toe, to-mah-to, po-tay-toe, po-tah-to, lion, bear. In any case, it is really awesome as are all the other cool submissions so far. I can’t wait to see what all the procrastinators have up their sleeves. Bring it on! The suspense is killing me.

Speaking of procrastinators…I myself waited until February to submit a little something to the contest. I bet you want to see it and had no idea that I could quilt. You wouldn’t believe it, but somehow it ended up on the front cover of the February issue of FabShop News. I thought I submitted it to the Studioe site, but somehow Laurie Harsh and Julia Marrone of Fabshop sabotaged it and smacked it on the front cover of the February Issue. Those gals sure are crafty, even Snowden would be impressed. What do you think?

If you ask me what I think, I think that I wish I was so talented to make such an awesome quilt. So I must give credit where credit is due and tell you that this 64″x84″ quilt called Wavelength was designed by Heidi Pridemore, made by Deborah Fenton and quilted by Karen McTavish. Nice job ladies!

You will be happy to know that I won’t be judging the Peppered Cotton Challenge….so no conflicts there. I am rooting for everyone! Good luck and thank you for participating in this contest. If we get enough submissions, it might be worth doing more of these.

Stay Warm,

Scott
