I got the nicest rejection letter from Rachel Rossi:
"First, thank you so much for submitting a design for the Winter Haven project hop. I genuinely loved seeing what you came up with, and narrowing everything down was incredibly difficult.
Unfortunately, because of the amount of sample yardage I had available, I had to keep the hop smaller than I originally hoped, and I wasn’t able to include every project submission this time around.
I especially wanted to reach out personally because I truly value working with you and really admire your work. Please know this was entirely a matter of logistics and not a reflection of the quality of your project in any way.
I’m so grateful for the time and creativity you put into your submission, and I sincerely hope we’ll have opportunities to collaborate again in the future. Please don't hesitate to apply for future hops!
Thank you again for being part of this community and for sharing your work with me.
