Red Thread Jacket?

Who's booth is this? And who are those beautiful women? I know for sure the brunette is Nancy Jewell -- and there's a good chance the blonde babe is Lynn Browne. They tag-teamed a great booth for COATS & CLARK at Expo last year. No, the more I look at it -- I'm not so sure it's Lynn. But I AM sure it's Lynn in the second picture....(keep scrolling).



Lynn made and modeled a red dress for our GO RED event -- and the little bolero jacket was made entirely out of THREAD. With any luck, Lynn & Nancy will read this post -- and send me a close-up picture of the jacket. Because it is AMAZING. (if I know Nancy Jewell, that picture will be in my mailbox before the end of the day).
Hey -- wouldn't it be cool if I could hyperlink you to the Coats website, and with one click of your mouse -- you could get the instructions for her jacket? Hummm.... it's been awhile since I practiced my "hyperlink" skills.....
One of the best things about last year's GO RED Event was that every single attendee got a really wonderful Goody Bag, including a free spool of Dual Duty XP RED thread. They also got a fun coupon book, and if they went to the Coats Booth after the style show, they got a SECOND free spool of Red Thread. The Coats booth was SWAMPED -- and, altho I'm sure I took a picture -- it's just possible that I can't even tell it's the Coats booth. My photo is nothing but the backside shot of 600 women, all worried that they'd run out of thread!!

Coats and Clark run out of thread?? Is there corn in Iowa? Rain in Seattle? Puhleezzee....

2008 Puyallup Sewing & Stitchery Charity Event

This is a picture from the 2008 Sewing & Stitchery Expo in Puyallup. On Sunday, we had a "Charity Tea" -- and hundreds of women paid $10 to sit at a table for an hour and visit with a "Sewing Star". Here you see Joanne Ross, Expo Chair and Sue Hausmann rushing around to re-set the tables. We only had 15 minutes between each session (we did SIX sessions). It was a very, very busy time. All the money we raised went to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer.

In 2009 -- we changed the charity event and it morphed into a "GO RED" Style Show to benefit the American Heart Association. It was a very big deal -- a one-time only ALL RED EVENT. Our Sewing Stars all agreed to make a special red outfit for themselves -- and we had everything you can think of -- from jogging suits to evening gowns. The audience all WORE RED as well. My next blog assignment is to find the pictures from the Go Red event and put up another "slide show".

Just when I thought things were going great -- I went back to my Picasa account -- and can't seem to find the 3000 photos I uploaded last night.

Hey -- if it was easy -- anybody could BLOG...
