Needle arts contest is ahead

September 8, 2009 by Denise Felton 2 Comments

heart1Tammy of The Crafty Princess Diaries shares this juicy tidbit she received by way of a newsletter:

Each year PieceWork Magazine holds its annual Excellence in Needle Arts Awards contest to showcase the best work of needle crafters from around the country. This year’s theme is “Heart Ornaments.”

PieceWork invites you to send your handmade heart ornaments in these four categories: knitting/crochet, needlework (embroidery, cross-stitch, bead embroidery, needlepoint), lace making/tatting, or quilting. The grand prize winner will receive $500 and each category winner will receive $200 worth of products provided by our generous contest sponsors.

A few more details are available in Tammy’s post, and full information is due to be released in mid-October.

    Hi,
    Thanks so much for publicizing the PieceWork Heart Ornament Contest. We appreciate it.

    I would like to mention that the puffy heart you have featured on this post was made by Belinda Spiwack for Cloth Paper Scissors magazine. Could you please credit the artist? Thank you.
