Winnners in the Twins Face Off with Anne Geddes Baby Witch Challenge

Yarn Twins: Dana Bincer and Deborah BagleyI, Dana, officially won the Twins Face Off witch challenge by designing the hat. But I’m sharing this victory with Deborah because she designed the inspiration pieces. Actually, she designed 3 out of the 4 pieces in the Witch Way, This Way set. If the challenge had been hat vs. gloves, I’m not sure who would have won!

Winnners in the Twins Face Off with Vanna’s Choice Stashbuster Flower Challenge

Deborah BagleyCongrats to Deborah Bagley for winning the Vanna’s Choice stashbuster Twins Face Off design challenge. The Floral Heart Throw Pillow won by a healthy margin.

Both designs were well received, but the pillow outclassed the door stops. People used words like “stunning” and “gorgeous” when talking about the decorative pillow. And I, Dana, have to agree. Deborah definitely deserves the win with this beautiful pillow.
