We Have Our Winners!
We have a winner!
Several, actually....
First Place:
As soon as I first saw this quilt I knew it would be a possibility for first. Everything about it is fantastic! The bright, springy colors, the fun and feminine shapes and prints, and the cute, ruffly pictures! I love the idea of using ruffles and clouds and grass.
It's clear that this quilt (made for Mellissa's daughter) has hours upon hours of hard work and love bundled up in it! Look at all these fun details!
Congratulations, Mellissa!i
Second Place:
Sarah really went all out on this one! This looks like every little girls dream party! She made all the decorations, tablewear, and even all the girls dresses and accessories! I am so impressed! By sure to check out her post to see even more pictures, and she even has a tutorial for the "ruffelier"!
Congratulations, Sarah!
Third Place:
This table rocks my world! It has everything you could ever dream of in a project: Creativity, inexpensiveness, and startling good looks! It was made from one of those $5 side tables you can buy in Walmart. I LOVE the wooden "ruffles"!
Great job, Carrie! Congrats! :o)

Hello, Disney!!! Thank you so, SO much for featuring my necklace in the pieces that you want for yourself!!! You are so sweet and you made my day--especially since you are surrounded by ruffly talent! When I clicked the "Autumn" link it sent me to another Autumn's blog--so lovely, but not mine! :-) Here's my link: http://autumnraeart.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Disney! Have a lovely, creative day!! --Autumn
Oh, sorry about that, Autumn! It's fixed now :o)
ReplyDeleteSuch loveliness! Congratulations everyone. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm so lucky, honored, amazed and impressed to be part of this incredible pool of creativity! I LOVED this challenge and I can't stop thinking about ruffles.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to everyone!
I am sooooo excited and honored!!! So many amazing entries that I will be referring back to anytime I need to make something with ruffles:) I had a blast with the party!

ReplyDeleteThese winners are truly deserving! That quilt is super creative and fun and beautiful! The tea party must have been such a blast for those girls! I just love ruffles. This was fun to see. Gotta say, kudos to the ones who thought of ruffles for dinasour backs and rocket fire too
ReplyDelete! Kathi
Me too Disney, I want to make all of those, or just buy them from the makers, do you think they could be persuaded?;) My husband will be glad to know it's over haha.
ReplyDeletei love all of the ruffly goodness!! hehe. lovely post with all of these images..congrats to the winners! yayy!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you were able to narrow it down because everyone did such a great job.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all of the winners.
Wow! That must have been a hard decision but honestly you chose all the right ones! Now I want to see some tutorial action on them! This was so much fun and I got so many ideas from other people! It would be so fun to do it again!
ReplyDeleteYou clearly picked the most creative and awesome entries to be the winners. Congratulations to all of them. And thanks for giving me an "honorable" mention. I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteNow I need to figure out how to make a lovely quilt like this and plan a "ruffle party" for the girls' next birthday.
Thank you again for hosting this fun contest.
Congratulations to you talented ladies!!
ReplyDeleteI am just considering myself lucky to have all of this inspiration, especially from Disney! She inspired me to finally pull out my mom's sewing machine and figure it out already - and I am having a BLAST!!
Oh, and if Rosella sold that skirt, I would sooo be interested in buying it! :)
that quilt is amazing! Great picks for winners! Also where can I get that ruffle baby hat with the flower? adorable!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Disney, for hosting this competition! It must have been a lot of work but you did an amazing job at pulling this off...and provided many people with fun, wholesome entertainment...we love you and your blog!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH! LOVE all the ruffles! I would especially love to know how to make the ruffle shoes and hat!
