I was one of the four judges in their nationwide needlecrafts competition. It came as a surprise to me that they chose me. It was also an honor, for them to have confidence in me to be able to judge the entries.
Here are just some of the contest entries, and the staff at Coats who got so busy putting it all up and later tallying up the scores.
The categories for this competition were: counted thread embroidery, cross-stitch, crochet and scrapbooking. In a few months they will be exhibiting the winning entries at SM Megamall.
For now the contest did not include fashion garments and accessories. But there were some who sent their finished items. I was unable to take pictures of those that were submitted, but not qualified for the contest. It was fun to look at the different items, each with their own unique qualities. Next time, they would most likely add a fashion category for crochet :)
Special thanks to Jackie for inviting me, and for the VIP treatment ;)
:0 It's so exciting, Mimi! Congratulations on being selected to be a judge, and being able to do this. It will be good on your crochet resume. ;p (Seriously.) I'm so happy you got to do that. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tina! I was so happy to see all the entries this time, unlike in the previous competition when I only saw the winning entries at the exhibit. And its getting better every year!
ReplyDeleteBecause of the increasing popularity of crochet now, they would most likely add a fashion category for crochet :)
