I had the pleasure of judging the Felt Smack Down 2010 “Challenge Alert”, which was organized by Patty from My life under the bus.  You can see all the projects entered in the contest on her blog here. The premise of the challenge was to make something based on my Felt Wee Folk book. Here are the results! It was very rewarding to see such a variety of entries to the contest. Everyone’s felt project showed imagination and oozed enthusiasm, so it was fun to look at all the submissions, knowing that there was a lot of thought and labor invested in each one. 

I looked for what I thought was the best character development, color choices, workmanship and presentation. I also was interested in how the projects from my book could inspire someone to come up with their own ideas and interpretations. 

Prizes are for the following projects: 

1^st prize- Alison of Acorn Cottage for her Little Bo Peep. See her blog here. 

First Prize, Little Bo Peep made by Alison

Little Bo Peep with sheep made by Alison

2^nd prize- Caroline for her handsome fellow 

Second Prize, Handsome Fellow made by Caroline

3^rd prize- Loralynn’s Cottage  

Third Prize, Loralynn's Cottage

Thank you to Patty for organizing this contest and to all the folks who committed themselves and worked on projects over the last few weeks. That’s a lot of blanket stitches!
