merrily you sew along: improv placemats winner

a big thanks to all of you who've been sewing along with merrily we sew along! it has been fabulous to watch as all of your beautiful improv placemats have been added to the flickr group, and it was certainly not easy to choose a winner.

but Kelley and i put our heads together and managed to make a choice. without further ado...

the winner of project one: improv placemats is Jennifer (aka Jeifner) from Secondhand Dinosaur, who entered her Icesmeismographberg placemat! we loved her interpretation of the project, and who can resist a made-up word? ok, maybe that's just me...

you can read all about how she made her placemat, the story behind it, and the awesome vintage thread she used on her blog here.

congrats, Jennifer!! you have won a Simply Color collection from Aurifil and four fabulous craft books (including improv sewing) from Storey Publishing.

thanks again to everyone who stitched along, and stay tuned for merrily we sew along: episode two. i can't wait to share my new improv project with you!!

happy stitching :)
