ByAnnie Top Voted
WINNER: Robyne L
PATTERN: Clam Up
THEIR STORY:
This is a make for a kind friend to showcase that not everything about the range Merry Little Christmas had to be about Christmas. It's a beautiful range that can be used all year round.
WHAT WE LOVED: Our team member Lindsie had this to say, "Love the styling of the Clam Ups from Robyn."
WHAT THEY WON: $50 coupon to use on ByAnnie.com
Storyteller Award
WINNER: Margo S
PATTERN: Leader of the Pack,
Changing Station
THEIR STORY: When my oldest told us that she was expecting our first grandbaby in January, we were so excited and already in love. I couldn't wait to buy fabric, pick out patterns and start making something special. The only guidelines I was given were that it had to be purple and vintage Pooh!
ByAnnie patterns are so well written and the videos were very helpful, that my project came together easily. The Changing Station slips right into the expanded sleeve in Leader of the Pack too!
The smile on my daughter's face when she received them meant the world to me. Thank you so much for creating the patterns and providing us with the knowledge and tools to make us look like pros!
WHAT WE LOVED: Our team member Megan had this to say, "Super cute bag and I love all the little quilted touches."

QE Level Up
WINNER: Beverly F
PATTERN: Bella Quilt Coat
THEIR STORY: This is a Christmas present for my sister who has bees. She is just going to love it!
WHAT WE LOVED: Elissa had this to say, "It was exciting to see so many wonderful submissions this month - ultimately Beverly F won my vote for the "Quilting Elissa's Level-Up Award" with her ultra creative Bella Quilt Coat using the Bella Accent Sleeves and Bella Arcs & Beauties FPP Expansion Packs!
On the back of the coat Beverly very carefully fussy cut bees into each of the flying geese - WOW! The contrasting fabrics used in the Grand Arcs ranging from low volume at the center to the high volume at the perimeter really gives the foundation piecing movement. The center focal motif is accented with thoughtfully placed floral applique at the center and perimeter of the Grand Arcs.
On the fronts of the jacket I appreciate how Beverly highlighted one full foundation arc with an expertly placed large fussy cut bee motif on one side, and complemented the opposite side with smaller scale bee fussy cuts - in a honeycomb inspired geometric arrangement.
The accent sleeves with the low and high volume fabrics used in the body of the coat are the finishing touch for a beautiful view from any angle.
On top of all of the head-turning details and touches, Beverly is gifting this coat to her sister - so kind!
No detail was left untouched on this fabulously creative Bella Quilt Coat. Congratulations Beverly - I can't wait to see what you will create next!"

Honorable Mention
WINNER: Kathy M
PATTERN: Ultimate Travel Bag
THEIR STORY: We live in the middle of the woods where Bigfoot could live. My husband is a true believer and this panel was the perfect choice to make his travel bag.
WHAT WE LOVED: Our team member Casey had this to say, "Bigfoot saw me, but nobody believes him."
WHAT THEY WON: $15 coupon to use on ByAnnie.com
Honorable Mention
WINNER: DeAnn L
PATTERN: Two Big Totes
THEIR STORY: I’ve had this pattern and the quilted fabric for a little while. When Randi Jones hosted her recent slow along in Facebook for Two Big Totes/Two Little Totes, it became the perfect time to make this bag. What I learned is don’t be afraid of the cork fabric; it all came together beautifully.
WHAT WE LOVED: Our team member Jacque had this to say, "This is a lovely tote. I think the neutral colors and the background of the photos compliments this bag completely. I would carry that everywhere!!"

Honorable Mention
WINNER: Jen E
PATTERN: Ultimate Travel Bag
THEIR STORY:
This is a gift for my sister who is a Leo and loves the color green. I made 2 other travel bags before I was ready to make this one. I wanted to get the lions just right.
The rainbow dots were originally planned for the outside, but it looked too busy once I was assembling. So we built it inside out!! I love the outcome on this.
WHAT WE LOVED: Our team member Randi had this to say, "I am always impressed when someone makes a bag with solids. They're not forgiving at all. Also, she did some nice fussy cutting that was perfect for the recipient."
