CHRISTINE'S COMMENTS
I voted for you and as far as I’m concerned, your creation is head and shoulders above the "winner." If you weren’t chosen, there were others who also deserved it. I won’t be voting next time because the contest was obviously rigged.
They had a lot of fans. That's totally ok. I'm happy for them and their voters. I asked my friends to vote for me, as I'm sure they did. Networking can work wonders! Don't get me wrong- I'm extremely happy I won as well. :)
This, with its complex pattern and all the hand-sewing, and the SCA tunics with their heraldic applique' work, are all MUCH more deserving of awards than the simple blue tunic which won. That Gary must have a HUGE mailing list...
What? A plain blue shirt won over this? Ridiculous! Anyone can have family, friends and followers vote to gain the win. Judging system MUST BE JURY PANEL ONLY! Not fair to the REAL winner of this beautiful work of art.
Congrats Christine & thank you for being graceful. In business since 2001 we have a nice customer base many who showed up & voted every day. I wish more here were appreciative of the creative process that goes into the sketching to creating our ga
Yay! :) Congratulations on the Judge's Choice win. This is such an amazing outfit. Well done! :)
Gary: Congrats! No problem. Its been a blast. Lots of great pieces out there. Keep on stitching!
Well done! An excellent choice of fabric, elegantly structured, and exquisitely executed. What a beautiful beautiful piece of work. Stunning! Congratulations. Well done!
Your dress is absolutely beautiful Christine. I see a lot of accomplished designers here, great workmanship but this contest is a joke and I'm not laughing.
