A winning doily!

In November last year, I shared with you Crystal’s beautiful version of my design “Claire Doily” from Elegant Hardanger Embroidery.

Crystal wrote to me again this week, with news about her doily. She entered it in the folk art competition at the Sons of Norway District Convention in California. It was one of about 20-25 Hardanger embroideries. There were also other sections, including Rosemaling, Norwegian weaving, other Norwegian needlework, Wood Carving, Norwegian knitting, photography, and painting.

Crystal’s Claire did extremely well: 1st place, People’s Choice, and Best in Show! WOW!

Congratulations, Crystal, on your excellent results! It is lovely to see that others have recognised and rewarded the high standard of your work!
