The Exemplary 2023:
Honorable Mention, Non-Professional Non-Original with Instruction

I selected this class taken at the MAR EGA Regional Seminar as I enjoy doing Jean Hilton type stitches and thought this design would make a nice holiday decoration. I also liked it since it was not a traditional Christmas color. The threads include Soie Perlee, Petite Silk Lamé Braid, Elegance silks, Petite Very Velvet, Accentuate, Kreinik, and Treasure Braid metallics. There are various types of beads plus some crystals. The stitching involved a lot of counting but was well worth it. The beads and crystals add so much sparkle to the design. (Designer: Kurdy Biggs)
