Yeah, that's the thing. It cost $25 to enter projects in our fair,

YIKES! At least there's no cost to *enter* ours.
In years before they judged the pieces so harshly
I don't think there's anyone actually *knowledgable* about stitching
doing our judging (one piece was so badly mounted there were *ripples*
in the framed work! I wanted to wait for the person and give them some
pointers about mounting and framing!!!). I always thought it would be
helpful to know how to improve one's work but, like you said, being
judged too harshly would definitely put a damper on the spirit of the
competition.
Joan, I haven't posted a pic yet, but I just got that red hardanger
heart framed
Oooo! Can't wait to see it!
On a side note: I just got a Lowery floor stand from Amazon.com and
have been loving it.

Ha! Arliss sent me that link (what a great price!) so, on her
recommendation, I ordered it yesterday. Won't be here for a couple of
weeks, which will give me a chance to finish my Victorian house. I just
have the lower right corner left and the stars in the sky.
I have been spending waaaaay too much on needlework things lately!!! I
also just yesterday ordered the frame for the Vic house. sigh.

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?
Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.
