Greetings unto the populace of the East from Despotissa Margarita Kofinopoia/Mistress Maggie Basketmaker. I have been remiss in not sharing with you the names and items that won this year's Northern Lights XV. For the last time under my banner artisans and judges gathered, this time in Panther Vale (Montpelier, VT), to show the works of their hands and share their knowledge. Judges and Pent staff labored hard and long to complete the daunting task of determining the best of the best.

It has been my pleasure to run Northern Lights for the past seven years but even Hercules stopped at seven labors. I am pleased to announce that this year's deputy, Lady Rowan de Beauchamp, will be the Pent Coordinator for next year's Northern Lights. She is experienced and considerate and I hope you support her as well as I have been supported over the years.

Without further ado, the awards for Northern Lights 15 are:

Choice Awards

Populace Choice - Elizabeth Elenore Lovell - Loom & the garters woven on it

Entrants' Choice - Morgaine Andrea Beaumont - Collection of Medieval Toys

Judges' Choice - Magdelana van der Haa - Intarsia Quilted Wall Hanging

Pent Coordinator's Choice - Angharad Rhos ferch Rhain - 16TH c. Knitted Yellow Carnamoyle Stockings, including the research and development of the pattern from pictures of the extant partial pieces (she even had to create parts of the pattern to fill in what was missing in the originals!)
