Congratulations Serinde! Well deserved win.

That's wonderful what a lovely surprise for you, a well deserved win its beautiful, congratulations

Congratulations! Enjoy your silver salver, it's well-deserved.

(Has anyone heard of Threadbear at all lately?)

Well done Serinde

TB got more into crochet and knitting rather than stitching. She hasn't updated her blog in two years and I haven't seen her on facebook either

Well Done Serinde and definitely well deserved that is for sure. Enjoy polishing your silver ware.

I hadn't seen this before and am not surprised that it is an award winner!!!! It is beautiful!

That piece is so very beautiful. Is that one of your own designs? Is the pattern available for purchase? I would love to attempt it!

Thanks, everyone.

@Disneystitcher: no, I didn't design this, but Tracy Horner did. You can still buy it online from her website here. I used the Carrie's threads version, and utilised a slightly different method for stitching with variegated threads than I had before (so as to avoid the dreaded stripe!). It's a gorgeous design, as indeed, are all of Ink Circles things, so I'm not responsible for the enabling or anything.

Congratulations Serinde, deserved acclaim for a wonderful creation

Thanks! I'm looking for it now!

Congratulations from me too! Do you remember how I got inspired by your wonderful piece and I stitched it, too? Interesting, it was only yesterday that it turned up on my Facebook memories page.

Congratulations it is awesome

Wow - beautiful finish & framing, and congrats on 1st place!!

Edit: also, thanks for being an enabler. I have never seen that website before & now I'm the owner of this design as well! It looks really fun to work on. I may go back & buy the small mandalas too... if I stitch them on small enough fabric, I bet they'd fit on a mason jar lid!

I remember this lovely piece too!
Congratulations on winning a Silver Salver.
