My Mothers Day Pillow Entry that I also posted here on Gather took one of three first prizes on Instructables.

I want to give a special note of thanks to my Gather friends who helped me along in my effort to win this wonderful prize, you guys are just the very best! 

 

This is the e mail I got from them a few minutes ago:

Congratulations, you're a contest winner!

Below are the details of your prize. Please fill out the delivery details below and click 'ACCEPT' to officially accept your prize.

First Prize
(3 winners) Singer 150 Adjustable Dressform - Small/Medium

Plus an Instructables Robot t-shirt, patch, and stickers.
Estimated Value: $180

 

Grand Prize was a Singer Sewing Machine, and yes while I would have liked to have won it I already have a brand new machine and the pillow is actually the first thing I ever made on it.

The dress form is extra special because I didn't have one of those and I am just delighted with it. (doing the happy pee pee dance here - I want to wake hubby up so bad and tell him).

Thanks again all of you!

So glad you won, Deb!
