These are just a few of the fabulous entries we’ve received so far to our birthday celebration coloring contest (don’t panic anyone! These are not the finalists yet… just some of the most recent posts) and we’ve decided that we want to give you as much time as possible to stitch up your entries (especially for you hand embroiderers! we know it takes awhile….)

So, to give plenty of time for you all to get in on the fun, we’ve extended the deadline ’til the end of the month, making the final due date Tuesday, May 31st at midnight, Central time!

Plus, that’s not the ONLY cool thing we’ve got to tell you about the contest… we have some celebrity judges too!

The winners of the top 5 machine embroidery entrances will be judged by our fellow machine embroidery wizard Erich from Black Duck Embroidery, and the top 5 hand embroidery entrances will be decided by none other than Jamie aka the fantabulous Mr X Stitch!

If you want more info on the contest, check out the original post, and if you haven’t grabbed your thread and started stitching yet because you were sure you thought you couldn’t make it… well, grab that needle and get a-stitching. Remember, you could win a $100 gift certificate!!

pssst…want to see what people have been stitching up so far? Check it…
