2012 Competition
Warmest greetings to you from Newlands in Cape Town.

January has come and gone and hopefully you feel that you are back in the swing of things for 2012! It is going to be an exciting year for silk ribbon embroiderers. The International Silk Ribbon Embroidery competition 2012 has begun. This competition only ends on Wednesday 19th December 2012, so there is more than enough time for you to enter as many embroidered pieces as you like!

Choose from any (or all) of the four sections below for the competition.
   
             
 
 
The Prizes?
I will publish the best of them all in a beautiful book for everyone to see - a wonderful collaboration from artists all over the world!

Don't you think that it will be exciting to view the collection of the most beautiful of all your embroideries, close-up, in a beautiful book?
   
   
In 2013, this printed book will be available worldwide via Amazon and Kalahari and also as an e-book for colour Kindles and colour e-readers.
   
   
I think this is a wonderful opportunity for all of you and I encourage everyone to give it a try... you never know: you may be published in a book which will be out in 2013!
   
       
   
Good luck everybody - this is going to be a lot of fun!

Remember: The competition ends on Wednesday 19 December 2012 and the winners will be notified early 2013.
