Love the projects - and everyone who took part in it is a winner! In my eyes the competition in needlework starts early: it's between you and your project and the vision you have of the finished object. Sometimes it's easy to win, sometimes it's a struggle and sometimes you're defeated - but even if a project becomes an UFO and is hidden deep in a closet, we always learnt from it :)

And I'm starting to think about Irish motives ;)
