I would like to thank . . .


the academy, my agent - wait, that’s not right.


The winner of the Threads Ultimate Sewing Challenge was announced today – and it’s me!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who voted!  Someday soon I will be the proud owner of a new Bernina sewing machine.  And just in time, too!  I am not sure how age is measured in sewing machines, but if mine were an automobile, it would probably have over 150,000 miles on it.

I also want to specifically thank my mom for reminding all of her friends to vote, and to everyone at the office for supporting my sewing obsession.

So, once again, thank you for all of your votes – they sure added up to something amazing!

    J'ai hâte de voir les petites merveilles qui vont sortir de dessous le pied de biche de votre nouvelle machine BERNINA.
    Bravo encore !

    Congratulations on winning. That Bernina is a very nice machine. I just had a look at some of them while I waited for my scissors to be sharpened. They were all well beyond my price range at the moment, but will hopefully have one in my future.

    Awesome work!
