Del Mar is one of the nation’s loveliest  race tracks in my opinion.  It’s phrase is “where the surf meets the turf”.  Bing Crosby was one of the founders of this racetrack.  Hollywood royalty often frequented this track.  The address is Jimmy Durante Boulevard.

Over the years, I’ve done many hats for Del Mar Opening Day.  Here are few of my favorites.

I designed and donated three ladies hats to the  Kentucky Equine Humane Center.  This worthy organization captured my heart last year when I went to visit.  Being a long time champion of animal welfare, I was taken by these lovely horses and the mission the of the KYEHC to rescue, rehabilitate and adopt out these horses who had not had the best of lives thus far.

These three hats are available on ebay.  The bidding ends at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 6th.

Any of these hats would be great for Easter, the races, an event or even the Oaks or Derby.

I was excited to be selected to have my work in the Stitching Art exhibit at the Lexington’s Headley-Whitney Museum. The show opens on March 23rd. Featured in the above photo is Simone, a sculpted fur felt fascinator with curved peacock feathers.

The hat above is called Matisse. I designed Matisse in 1996, while studying at F.I.T. in New York. I was given the subject Matisse and asked to design a hat around that theme. In 2003, the hat won best of show at the T.L.D. Design Center in Chicago. I absolutely adore the outfit the hat is paired with. The dress is a very intricate design by Monica Magdangal.
