For the past two years I’ve entered the Kentucky Derby Hat Contest sponsored by the Kentucky Derby Museum. The hat pictured is currently in the museum and will be on display through the 2012 Derby. It’s a bright orange straw hat hand blocked and embellished with hand-dyed and hand sewn silk roses and vintage fuchsia satin ribbon. I’m working on designs for this year’s entry – stay tuned!
Congratulations……..still wear my Derby hat,!……….MDJq
