Annual Needle Lace Challenge 2026

Our ‘Gold’ themed Needlelace Challenge for 2026 attracted 6 brilliantly creative entries. The challenge generated lots of interest from our members; you were commenting on our social media posts to vote for your favorites right up to the last moments before the deadline!

​

It was a close call, however, at the AGM we were able to announce that the winner of the Pat Burgess trophy for 2026 was Judith Holroyd, for her stunning golden rose.

​

Judith’s entry is shown here, alongside the 5 other beautiful entries to the challenge. We hope this will inspire you to join the 2027 challenge, launching in Lace 203 (summer 2026 edition).
