The centrespread feature actually covered the winners of the Craft Awards, the consumer-voted scheme run by our sister titles Crafts Beautiful, Quick&Crafty! and Let's Make Cards! The winners of the Craft Business Awards - voted by the trade - will be announced on March 25th on www.craftbusiness.com. The April/May issue of the magazine will also feature an article on the winners.

Thanks,

Anna Blewett
Editor, Craft Business
