The decision making process was not an easy one. Each judge had favorites. In fact, once the judges agreed upon the three seams they felt best met the criteria for an extended seam, they asked if we could also add a Judge's Choice category.
 |
| Entry 15 |
Diana's seam was selected for 1st place.
 |
| Entry 7 |
Carol's seam was selected for 2nd place.
 |
| Entry 2 |
Janet's seam was selected for 3rd place.
 |
| Entry 8 |
Kathy chose Entry 8 by Nina and she said, "This is the seam that I wish that I had stitched."
 |
| Entry 19 |
Jo chose Entry 19 by Margreet. She liked the traditional treatment, multiple layers, thread types and colours, the beads, that it extended onto both sides of the seam, and added it was "just my style."

Absolutely beautiful work from everyone! Can't imagine how you chose...
Beautiful each and every one of these. congrats to the winners of the Extended Seams xoxoxo
How very exciting to have my seam chosen as a winner! When I saw all the wonderful entries, I was so impressed that I never gave my chances a second thought. What a nice pick me up it was this morning to see it in second place. It was a fun challenge to participate in and congratulations to everyone for a nice representation of seam ideas!
