2-in-1 Challenge Winners!

Hi!  The 2-in-1 Sewing challenge is officially over.  Five talented participants have met my sewing challenge with panache and creativity.  Voting was open throughout August, and it's now time to announce the winners!  Let me say the final votes were VERY close.  While one particular entry was always the clear winner throughout the challenge, I had no idea who'd win second or third until I looked at the results this morning.  That's how close it was!  Scroll on down, check out all the entries, and find out who won the coveted gold, silver, and bronze buttons:

I didn't enter myself in the voting portion of  the challenge,
but I wouldn't challenge anyone to do something I wouldn't attempt on my own, 

so here's my 2-in-1 challenge entry:

Rikka from Montana
Challenge Hostess
I blogged about my reversible placemats HERE.

Congrats to all the participants!  This was not an easy challenge but you met it with style and flare.  As with every every challenge I host, I was inspired, I learned something new, I made new friends, and I finished a project that I would have normally procrastinated on.  Thank you all so much!  Come back for the next challenge.  It's a tough one, I think!

Happy crafting and big hugs from Montana,
