Fair Entries

I went to the fair today to see how my entries did and to check out the other items entered in my categories as well as the others. I was pleasantly surprised at what I saw!! First, here is the poster explaining the different ribbons:





and now for the results.....................









I received 4 ribbons- one of each color!!! OMG I am so excited right now. Not too bad for my first time entering the fair =)




I am surprised at the item that received the blue ribbon; I whipped those up at the last minute. I'm thrilled that one of my items was considered for the tri-color (best in show) and even more thrilled my first attempt at serious lace received an Honorable Mention ribbon. There were some beautiful items entered in the shawl category. The only item not to receive any ribbons was my felted purse. I'm not upset by it, the competition was outstanding. Here are some photos I took this morning:




The item that won best in show was a stunning shawl:

What a thrill! I am already coming up with ideas for next year =)
