In one of the many craft newsletters I receive, I found this information about a needlework related contest. Hearts is a favorite theme of mine for all types of crafts, and ornaments seem like a very do-able project, so of course, it got my creative brain wheels turning:
Each year PieceWork Magazine holds its annual Excellence in Needle Arts Awards contest to showcase the best work of needle crafters from around the country. This year’s theme is “Heart Ornaments.”
PieceWork invites you to send your handmade heart ornaments in these four categories: knitting/crochet, needlework (embroidery, cross-stitch, bead embroidery, needlepoint), lace making/tatting, or quilting. The grand prize winner will receive $500 and each category winner will receive $200 worth of products provided by our generous contest sponsors.
* Entries must be a maximum of 4″ in size.
* Deadline: April 1, 2010.
The contest winners will be announced and their work displayed at The National NeedleArts Association (TNNA) trade show in June 2010. They will also be featured in our July/August 2010 issue of PieceWork. Complete contest details will be available October 16 at pieceworkmagazine.com.
The heart ornament pictured above was created by Belinda Spiwack.

Dear Tammy,
Thanks so much for passing on this information about the PieceWork needleart contest. We very much appreciate the publicity.
However, would you please credit the artist whose puffy heart you feature in the post? Her name is Belinda Spiwack who created these particular hearts for Cloth Paper Scissors magazine.
Thank you,
Cate Prato
