The winning suggestion for a central motif theme is "Fleur de Lis".
For suggesting the theme prizes will be awarded to Blondie.

The pattern has been uploaded onto the forum as of 4/15/10 and within 24 hours 34 minutes and 13 seconds a finished stained glass was presented by GeorgianLady. Way to go!

A consolation prize has been added for 2nd and 3rd place in the dash.

Till May 30th members will be working on the "Most Creative" leg of the contest and will end with a vote by June 7th. The winning project will be showcased on the cover of a new stained glass pattern book titled "Center Motif's"  by Down East Stained Glass and the contributer of the winning panel will be awarded some very nice prizes.

Trying out a new way to make stained glass patterns where I take a photo of the original draft and re-size it to fit a standard 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper for printing. You have to then print the original draft (new size) and using a light box, trace over the pattern. This leaves you with a simple line drawing of the pattern. You can then make personal edits and instructions.

Here is a new stained glass pattern I drew up to do this.
Feel free to use it yourself and share.

The pattern is available here>>>  Lily & Easter Eggs
