Featured in Teddy Bear and Friends!

I just got my latest TB&F and was certainly surprised to find one of my pieces in it! The Newlydeads was my signature piece at the Philadelphia Teddy Bear and Doll Convention. It was purchased by the Quinlan Teddy Bear Museum. There was an article on the show and the Quinlans in Teddy Bear and Friends and they featured the bears that they bought at the show!

State Fair WINNERS!

Every year my mom, my brother & I enter the State Fair judging. It was a successful year all the way around. My brother took 14 ribbons for photography. My Mom took 3 ribbons in sewing. I entered 3 things in the teddy/soft sculpture catagories & got 2 Blue Ribbons & a White! It is so much fun to watch the judging & my Mom & I go every year. We have been entering since around 1970 and have won ribbons every year. I really gets your heart pumping when they pick you your piece & when you get a Blue Ribbon it is wonderful. The only sad note on the day is that Art lost his little pal Moe at the Fair. I still have a call in to see if he turned up at the department Lost & Found.
