2009 Red & Green Challenge Winners

 

GRAND PRIZE Michelle Kasouf of Massachusetts
We believe that Michelle used every bead in the kit. Her graceful flowing necklace is a miracle of construction, and she did a wonderful job of balancing the colors.

FIRST RUNNER UP & PEOPLE'S CHOICE Kim McFadden of Connecticut
This beautifully composed and expertly stitched necklace won all of our hearts! We especially loved the way Kim fitted the rose stars in between the leaves for a continuous arch of harmonious shapes.

SECOND RUNNER UP Shelley Bettencourt of Connecticut
This sinuous bracelet was built on the green lace strip included in the kit. The construction was extremely clever, and the bracelet felt wonderful in wearing it---the weight was just right. The movement of the beads was particularly attractive.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR WINNERS!
