I came close! Thanks to everyone who voted for my entries, my lampshade came 5th in the People&#8217;s Choice, and my runner came 3rd. Thanks for voting for me, and for writing very encouraging comments!<\/p>\n<p>After the voting closed, the staff at Fabrics-store.com then voted for their favourite design based on the creativity, originality and quality of the theme, and awarded the Grand Jury Winner. Amazingly, they chose my Hardanger runner! I am still quite shocked. And before you say (as many of my friends have) &#8220;Of course you&#8217;d win, Yvette&#8221; &#8211; no, not &#8220;of course&#8221; at all! There are many talented craftspeople out there, and I certainly didn&#8217;t expect mine to be chosen!
