Dramatic drumroll! Here are the winners of VISI’s DIY Deluxe cross-stitch cover competition.
When we invited readers to cross-stitch our DIY Deluxe magazine cover, we had no idea how enthusiastic and creative you would all be. You’re really all winners of your own unique once-off magazine cover!
Overwhelmed by so many submissions, we decided to let you, the participants and readers, decide who would win by voting on Facebook (see the full album here). Now we’ve tallied the votes and the winners are…
However, first, the VISI editorial team has decided to award two special prizes:
- The first, a Special Effort Prize, goes to Katy Mellor from Johannesburg, for her ridiculously impressive entry that was cross-stitched with strips of newspaper. We’re giving her the Knitted Bulb floor lamp from Peta-Lee.
- The second, an Originality Prize, goes to Brandon Brett from Durban. Although strictly speaking it is not cross-stitch, we were just so stunned with how Brandon really thought out-of-the-box and felt that it had to be rewarded with a mohair-filled duvet from Camdeboo Leisure.
The other winners, according to most likes on Facebook, are:
-
Louise Filander from Mitchell’s Plain, whose original colour combinations wins her a pair of 50×50 custom-designed Lindi cushions from Cowgirl Blues.
-
Lynette Ou Tim from Tamboerskloof who, besides her Mondrian-inspired design, really deserves a pair of hand-dyed Isabella cushions from Cowgirl Blues for all her Facebook campaigning.
-
Judi Sheard from East London, whose rosy design showed off some seriously pro-looking stitches, winning her a mohair-knitted ball lampshade from Moonbasket.
-
Rene Bakker, assisted by her mother Arja Bakker, from Sea Point, whose earthy colour scheme was inspired by the end of summer and the upcoming fall, winning them a set of two knee-size Hinterveld blankets (110x130cm) from the beautiful story range in Bicycle Red.
-
Anja Weihe from Gardens, whose gradient of different textures was very distinguishing, winning her a the second set of two knee-size Hinterveld blankets (110x130cm) from the beautiful story range in Bicycle Red.
