Wow; good for you!!!!!!! The past few years, I've seemed to have a hike or= an EGA meeting on the "Drop Off Day" for entering things in the Fair. Als= o, one of our EGA members has been the needlework judge since the previous = judge finally stopped doing it. For a while, it seemed as if the biggest i= tems entered would win, no matter what! We usually tell ourselves that we = enter things mostly to show people what is out there to stitch but it was g= etting annoying to see a medium sized piece that was complicated and requir= ed lots of skill get nothing or an Honorable Mention while a kit that was l= arge but simple would get a blue ribbon. Maybe next year I'll start enteri= ng again. :-) It IS fun and the building with the needlework in it is AIR = CONDITIONED!!!!! With our mostly dry heat, we're not nearly as miserable a= s the easter part of the country but even a dry 95 is HOT! :-) Liz from Humbug

I keep meaning to ask the lady there who it is that does the judging and to suggest that they give some comment as to why it was judged so. I always forget. :( I'd really like some feedback. For example, my kitten and "stitching soothes" pieces were in the same class. The kitten was straight cs (but the kitten was done in Wisper) and the other had more bs and some beading. Why did the kitten get 1st?
