DYLG2 WINNERS!!

05/25/2018

Hello!

It’s time for me to announce the winners of the Dress Like Your Grandma challenge. As stated in this challenge’s description, this is a non-competitive sewing challenge and not a contest. That means that there was no voting and no competition involved in choosing the prize winners. Winners were chosen randomly by me, using a random number generator. I made a list of the participants (50) and assigned each sewist a number. I then went down the list of prizes and used the random number generator to select each prize winner. I wish that I could have given everyone a prize, but just know that I appreciate all of you for joining in on this challenge and how much I have loved hosting this and seeing all of your lovely creations. Thank you to our generous sponsors for providing the prizes!

A finished project! I used McCall 1247 (c. 1946) t A finished project! I used McCall 1247 (c. 1946) to create this blouse. It's made out of a rayon twill that I got from @lafinchfabrics. I started this project pre-pandemic and just finished it... I have been experiencing a lot of sewing lethargy, which isn't unusual considering our current circumstances here in the US. I'm trying to get my sew-jo back as I would just love to sit here all day sewing and watching TV. I have been embroidering and am finding escape in that. ❤️

My next embroidery project! I recently scored this My next embroidery project! I recently scored this 1938 State Flower Map embroidery transfer pattern and just spent many hours tracing it. It's going to be the focal point on a quilt that I'm planning to make with vintage handkerchiefs -- most of them from the same era. #embroidery #vintageembroidery #1930sembroidery #stateflowers #handkerchiefquilt #mccall609
My family recently received a new Purple Heart med My family recently received a new Purple Heart medal for my grandpa. My grandpa was a highly decorated and yet modest man and although he was proud to have received his service medals, he did not display them. I found most of them forgotten in a dusty box under his desk after he passed. Others I found in footlockers in the barn. I have yet to find the Purple Heart that he earned while being shot down over France during WWII. He had a bullet in his leg with remnants that remained for the rest of his life. Thankfully, we were able to apply for and receive another one. All Purple Hearts have the recipients name engraved on the back. The last photo was the last medal he received - the Prisoner of War medal (1987). He became a POW after his P-51D was shot down and he was captured by the Nazis. My grandpa and his military brothers and sisters are not "losers" or "suckers". They served the country that they love.
I don't know about you, but I need something to lo I don't know about you, but I need something to look forward to, so today I decorated for Halloween. It doesn't take me very long as I don't have very many Halloween decorations. Time to get spooky!

Getting a head start on Halloween decorating as I Getting a head start on Halloween decorating as I both love spooky things and I also need something to look forward to. I also find it amusing that the "Welcome" sign is an oxymoron as no one outside of my bubble is welcome inside. 🤣 Materials from Dollar Tree and Joann's and a repurposed grapevine wreath. 🎃🦇🕷️🕸️🦹
