The winning designs from the Tenth Annual Hardanger Embroidery Design Contest are featured in this book. Entries were received from all over the United States and Canada. Judging was based on three criteria: originality (25 Points), workmanship (35 points) and overall attractiveness (40 points). the six top designers are pictured on the front cover, and the back cover displays six honorable mentions.

The cover seems to be speckled with something but it is only on the cover. The designs themselves are intact with no markings. Thank you for looking and happy stitching!
