A rockin contest from Di van Niekerk

October 5, 2010 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

Di of Crafts Unlimited alerts us to a competition involving her 16 new Dreamscapes designs. Her e-newsletter says,

Running until the end of May 2011, you may enter as many embroidered pieces from the Dreamscapes series as you like. There will be a first, second, third, and fourth prize for the best of them all…

1st Prize: My new Romantic Roses in silk and organza ribbon book, signed by me, along with the panel of the rose sampler for the book, all the threads, ribbons, beads, needles, frame, backing — everything that you will need to embroider this beautiful sampler PLUS 100 packets of the most popular ribbons in my range: 2, 4, 7, 13, 25 and 32mm silk ribbons.

The other prizes are fabulous, too! Get all the details from Di’s home page.

Looking for a supplier of Silk Ribbon? We love Etsy for finding hand dyed ribbons as well as imported European silk Embroidery Ribbons. You can see the listings here on Etsy.  Why use silk ribbons? While you can use other kinds of ribbon, it’s best to work with silk because It’s lightweight and very fluid and can easily be manipulated into stitches.
