I am extremely pleased to announce the WINNERS of the <a href="/combocontest.html" target="_blank">Sublime Stitching Combo Contest</a>! Hoo boy- it was not an easy task. And, I mean that. This has been really tough to judge, seeing all the great work that was done! You people can embroider. A lot. And you were kinda scaring me with your awesomeness.
</p>
<p>
There were <a href="/gallery" target="_blank">60 entries in all to the contest</a>, and the creativity, inspiration and hard work was truly incredible. I saw so many projects I admired for their humor, hard work and obvious love for stitching. How I wish I could have picked them all! I couldn't possibly! So I asked these kind folks to be your judges instead! Phew.
