BFC Creations Yahoo Group Project Contests

Periodically on my Yahoo Group, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BFC-Creations/ , we hold a contest. Everyone can submit photos and a short explanation of their projects and we all vote. You can see the results of our first contest here: Click to view Projects

Our first place winner, Doris Coombs will have her project featured in the next Inside Embroidery Magazine.

The winners did a fantastic job and won free BFC Designs, but even more we were all winners for being able to view such great projects. Many of us were inspired to carry these ideas into our own projects.

Another contest will be starting soon! Come join our group if you would like to participate.
