Marblehead Challenge Prizes!

We're very excited to announce the prizes for the Marblehead Challenge! 

(Find additional details about the Challenge here.) 

We've partnered with some great companies to assemble the prize packages:









~The Prizes~

1. OLFA is giving away a 5" Applique Scissors to each of the 12 winners. 


The scissors' handles are symmetrical to fit both left and right-handed users, and their extra large size means you can fit up to three fingers in a loop! The sharpened tip is great for cutting smaller pieces accurately, and the straight-edge blades slide easily through fabric, grabbing it and cutting cleanly.
