The Winner
About this design:
This week we finally held a contest for embroidery patterns. For fun, we asked for designs to be reversed, thus allowing the embroiderer to see the print through the fabric and to stitch on the non-printed side. The theme? The roaring eighties. Our winner? Laurie Stevens, a designer from the UK. Congrats, Laurie!
Details
For the first time, we're going to try an embroidery pattern contest. Create an original embroidery pattern on a subject related to the 1980s. Use line drawings (color coded if appropriate) and reverse the design so that the pattern can be embroidered with the printed side down. Please include in your description, or on the design itself, any relevant instructions. Entries will be previewed at the scale of a fat quarter (21" x 18"). Deadline for entry is Tuesday, September 25th, 2012.
