And the Winner Is... UPDATED

I've heard about two of the ribbons given out at ANG's Milwaukee Seminar Exhibit. Rosalyn Cherry-Soleil won Best in Show as well as some other ribbons (I don't know which) for her Chinese Drama Masks by Leigh Designs. This is the piece featured in NP Now twice this year and it's on her website in the video she did about her work. You can see the video at the second link if you are interested.

And one of Brenda Hart's students (see below) won for a version of the Leigh's "Carnavale Fiona" mask. Here is the unstitched canvas so you can get an idea.

Congratulations to the winners and all the exhibiters. Wonderful needlework goes to the exhibit each year that doesn't win a ribbon but that wins the hearts of the exhibit goers.

UPDATE: Carole Lake kindly typed all the winners listed in the daily Seminar newsletter and sent them to me. She's not seen the exhibit yet but I am sure folks who are there will report in.
