Hi everyone, give a big shout out to Christy Statz, as she was chosen for the 2011 Slipcover Summit Scholarship.  Christy will be awarded $400 to apply towards class fees and meals at the Slipcover Summit in Emsworth, PA.

When I notified Christy that she was selected, she was blown over.  Christy said she never wins anything; but she can't say that anymore, now can she.

Congrats Christy--can't wait to meet you.

Show off Slipcovers at IWCE


Hello Everyone,

Thanks so much for your patience, I know its been a while since I first contacted you all about this project but it took longer than I thought to get the details together. Long story short, we will be showing several ( approximately 12 to 14 ) slipcovers on various small pieces of furniture in a 10 X 10 booth at the IWCE show in Las Vegas on April 26 -28. I will provide the fabric and measurements and photos of each piece as well as templates if needed. If you are still interested in participating in this project please email me ASAP and I will forward you a link to the photos of the pieces to be covered. The covers would have to be completed and shipped to me to be received in Las Vegas by April 16. It should be a fun project and great exposure for slipcover artisans.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Jackie
