I won TWO ribbons!
We decided that today was the day to go to the fair. Wanted to make a day of it rather than just an evening. Well, the usual 35 minute drive was 1 hour and 45 minutes due to traffic from home to the fair parking. I was willing to walk around on our way to the Quilt Exhibit but Bert headed right over there.
Well, barely in the door and there hanging up on the wall, not folded over amongst other quilts like in the past, was my quilt. With TWO ribbons! I received a Blue ribbon for my Class, Applique Hand, and I received a Purple Rosette Ribbon for Best of Division which is the best of all eight classes in that division. I was blown away. I was just standing there taking it all in when this lady that I didn't even know, out of the blue asked if I quilted. All I could do was point at my quilt.
I know that I'm pretty emotional some times, but I had tears running down my cheeks. Such recognition is quite a bit overwhelming. After a pretty rough first full week at school, this was a pretty good pick-me-up.
Here's a link to my blog with a picture.
