On Saturday -- up on the Expo Runway -- I will be MC'ing the Inspired 2 Sew Challenge. Bonne and Jan are BRINGING their 2012 challenge -- and my two sisters -- Ronda and Deborah -- will be helping. To make it even more exciting -- the special door prizes for that event will be RITA FARRO'S 2011 SEW EXPO JACKETS!!
Because we had a special embroidery design that year -- my sister Deb embroidered FOUR FABULOUS JACKETS FOR ME...and here are some pictures...to remind you how GORGEOUS THESE JACKETS WERE...
Who could forget my great Saturday jacket??
Maybe the Sunday jacket is my favorite...
The BACK of the Saturday jacket has the "Expo" design as reverse applique...
Yes -- this one could be my favorite...it was sooo comfortable, and with all those colors -- it goes with ANYTHING!!
Although, the stunning black and white jacket was perfect for the Expo embroidery design...
And the perfect weight for those breezy Pacific Northwest spring days...
The Sunday jacket was SPECTACULAR...
Claire made a scarf to go with my well-known black & white theme...this was my Day One jacket..Claire has her own 2012 sewing challenge...which she will be sharing during the Nooner event on Saturday -- up on the Expo Runway (12:30)
I loved the long length of this jacket -- and the buttons are unique...
Deb put the design on the back HIP -- (Mary upstaged me with her fab skirt, eh?)
AND on the front as well...
Gee...Deb will get to see her crush -- SIMON -- at the show!!
So here's the deal. If you come to the Saturday Nooner "Inspired 2 Sew" event (which is totally FREE) -- at 12:30 -- you'll get a door prize ticket -- and we'll be giving away FOUR UNIQUE ONE-OF-A-KIND-EMBROIDERED-BY-DEBORAH Sew Expo Jackets....
AND you will promise to either wear it yourself to a sewing event -- or give it to a friend who will wear it to a sewing or quilting event...and you will SEND ME PICTURES so I can blog about it..
The jackets are size 2x -- so you can make it smaller-- alter it to fit YOU -- cut it up to make a totebag -- or give it to one of your deserving fat friends!!
THE WHOLE POINT is for me to blog about where the Sew Expo jackets GO FOR THE NEXT YEAR...
Just like the Hey Rita Tote -- we want to send these jackets off on their sewing travels...
SO -- come to the Saturday "Nooner" event -- at 12:30 -- up on the Expo Runway!!
