Gone Stitching and Planet Earth Fibers have just announced their “Our World” needlepoint contest with over $1,000 in prizes. Entrants must design and stitch an original 6″ x 6″ needlepoint canvas based on the theme, “Our World.” There are two categories, Designer’s Choice and People’s Choice. Both will award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes.
First prize is a ring of single ply or 6 ply Planet Earth fiber silk (retail value, $1,000). Second prize is a Gone Stitching original design canvas, knitted with Planet Earth Fibers (retail value, $200). Third prize is a small Gone Stitching original design canvas, knitted with Planet Earth Fibers (retail value, $100).
Three needlepoint designers will judge the designer’s choice, with Tony Minieri being one of the judges.
You can enter and find complete rules at Gone Stitching’s site.
Designs must use five Planet Earth threads from either their 6 ply or silk lines. It may be on 13, 14, or 18 mesh, which you specify when you enter. The entrance fee is $25 and is non-refundable. Once you enter the contest Planet Earth will send you our kit.
The contest ends June 3, 2010 and winners will be announced on September 6, 2010 on the GoneStitching podcast.

thank you Janet for posting the contest. We are very excited about it. Our wonderful framer (who frames at all the local needlepoint stores) is also giving free framing to the first prize winners. He is wonderful and does framing for some of the leading needlepoint teachers.
Thanks again,
Michele
