They all look gorgeous and very creative, but my vote goes to Kirsten67.Beautiful cushion and lovely variety in regards to use of fabric.
Ok first they are all great but I pick Nova as it is like a complete bundle, well done to all!
I give my precious vote to pop-i-cok.The little creations are so individual and happy and hearted,and chewable for teething babies,and.. and.. and.. but I found things Iiked about each finalist's work, that's why i cheekily asked if I could vote ten times. Flamehair deserves a vote for her practical use of the trimmings, the 'A' is admirable : the intricate embroidery is stunning, the cushion and co.are........ I could go on but all in all excellent choices for the 10 finalists.
Amen!
NOVA

I love how the over dye-ing has given these fabrics a unique look: my vote goes to Bananaphone.
Nova gets my vote
My vote is for NOVA. I LOVE how she has used up every tiny piece of her gorgeous prints-pack. I love too, that she has designed a range of sewing-goodies that marry together so well, and that she is able to use every day while she is sewing - so very clever.
