A prize :o)

In January Sewing World magazine ran a competition.

Using Gutermann Sulky threads in a decorative way a small hanging ( about 8"square) had to be made with a loop for it to be hung up. I showed the work in progress earlier in my blog but this is the finished object.

You can imagine how delighted that I was to find earlier this week that I have won First Prize!

The prize arrived today (the packaging is still on the table )

There is £300 worth of Gutermann Sulky threads of all types, plus prewound bobbins, elastic etc and a Starter Kit of Gutermann Sulky stabilisers, complete with an enormous Hobbygift work basket to keep them all in.

It feels like my birthday :o)))

Remember that silk quilt---?

Well I have just heard that it has won Third Prize ! What a great start to the year.
:o)

Now the judging is over I can show the full quilt. Unfortunately the crystals aren't showing up too well. I think when it comes home I might add more beading to it?

I made it to enter into a Machine Embroidered Quilt competition that was run by Flair magazine. My prize is Madeira threads which is great as I am a self confessed thread junkie.

I particularly enjoyed making this quilt. I think the combination of working with silk,favourite colours and patterns may have had something to do with it


I called it Crazy Paisley!
