The Exemplary 2026
1st Place, Non-Professional Non-Original with Instruction

This was just pure fun to stitch! The first time I saw this piece designed by Kurdy Biggs, I knew I wanted to work through all the geometrics included in it. In true Kurdy Biggs style, there were Jessicas, Walnetos, Crescents, and, and, and . . . ! I had the privilege of piloting the piece for Kurdy, so an additional challenge was to double check the instructions and make corrections and suggestions. A very good friend also piloted the piece, and we had such fun working through the piece together.
