Competition Reminder + Meet the Sponsors!

Have you all been busy stitching something excellent? We hope so! And we can't wait to see what you have made. Seriously, we may be more excited about this than Christmas. 'Coz we're stitchy geeks.

Don't forget, we will open for entries on Monday, November 10. And then you have until November 16th to get your entry/ies in. The very latest we will accept entries is 12 noon UK time on the 17th.

So if you want to enter the Old Stitches, New Tricks competition, it's best to get your stitchy skates on! Check the original competition post here for all the rules, and what fab prizes you can win!

Speaking of prizes, we want to highlight our lovely sponsors. We are very grateful for their support for this competition. We could not have made this competition this extra-awesome without them. Please do visit them!

Kreinik Threads have very kindly supplied a set of fabulous sparkly threads in Christmas colours for all three of our winners. Glitter, yum!

The Creative Muster has a set of teeny tiny hoops (either 1" or 2") for both our first and second places. I need to get some of those. Perfect for stitchy jewellery, right?

sugarcookie also has a prize for our top two: an adorable bobbin in the shape of a cute animal. The unicorn is my favourite!

Pavilion Craft has a copy of What Delilah Did's new book, Stitch the Halls for our top prize. It looks like such a pretty book. Wishlisted!

Fiddlesticks AU will send a kit of the top winner's choice. We love the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious one.

And last, but not least, our top winner also gets a cross stitch pattern of their choice from Satsuma Street. I love the Pretty Little Italy one, but there are lots of great patterns!

All our three winners will also receive a copy of the latest issue of Hoop-La! magazine funded by the &Stitches kitty.
