OK, my stitching pals ... now it is your turn. How did you do at the fairs this Summer? Congrats to Deb L [w/o blog] for being awarded the Champion Rosette at the Porter Co Fair. Well Deserved. Beautiful L&L piece. Congrats to Sue D and Elaine H, too, for all their ribbon-wearing entries!!! Great job : )
Tonight ... Open House for the Lake County Fair. I have different projects entered. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!! In the past, I've been awarded a couple sweepstakes rosettes on my beaded pins; however, I'd flip for a sweepstakes rosette on any STITCHED piece. That prize continues to pass over my entries year after year : )
They land on Sue D & Deb L's entries!!! They are tops at what they do best : )
Are these all first place winners? Blue ribbon...right? Beautiful!! And congratulations!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a grand haul. And justly deserved too. That pulled thread pillow is gorgeous. I laughed when I read the judge's comment, asking where the "J" was on the Miniature Sampler.

Congratulations for all the ribbons.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! You did great, girlfriend!!
ReplyDeleteHugs...
Congrats on your fair ribbons. I also entered projects in a local county fair. I got 8 purple ribbons and Champion and Reserve Champion. There are not a lot of categories and not much competion. The judge was not to knowledgable about counted cross stitch.
