The top ten fabrics from this week's contest are headed for an exhibit at the Textile Center in Minneapolis, where jurors will select their favorite for a grand prize. The people's choice in our voting was Canadian designer Cynthia Frenette's "Take the Detour Route," but all of the top ten offer terrific spins on the contest theme, which centered on the transformation of an urban neighborhood using selected photos as inspiration.
Keeping in mind that this contest consisted of a juried group of designs to begin with and that the top prize is actually going to be selected by judges from the Textile Center, the top ten designers are:
- Take the detour route by cynthiafrenette
- Arc by spellstone
- Texas Modern Crop Squares Coral by jacinda
- Follow the Urban Brick Road by sarahwalden~peacoquettedesigns
- St_Augustine_Urban_Sightings_ by catail_designs
- King o' Pork by boris_thumbkin
- No barking by lien_geeroms
