Woodlawn Results?

Any entrants heard back from Woodlawn yet? I have 2 pieces in this year, and
I'm just dying to hear the results, since I entered in a new category for me.
Thanks!
Julie

I got a brief phone message last Thursday; I entered a genealogy sampler and
won a first. Don't know what category, though. I'm sooo excited! --Sali

Woodlawn says they are going to notify the winners, but last year I won a
first place and a technical merit award and didn't get any notification
about either. I had to call to find out how my entries did.

I haven't heard anything this year, but I'm going to call tomorrow to ask
about them.

This post brings up a question I've had for a long time but didn't know
who to ask. When you enter a piece in a contest, does it have to be
your own creation or can it be from a kit? Most contests I've seen
have been at county fairs (which I love but don't see much of here in
MS), and I've always wondered. I think some of my pieces have been (or
at least might have been) good enough to enter, but they've always been
someone else's designs. Maybe if I ever get done with this sampler for
DMIL, I'll enter that, if I can ever find a competition around here.
Do you know where I could find out info about something like that?

Each show has its own rules. Woodlawn has different categories so you can
enter pieces worked from your own designs or someone elses. I have never
entered anything there but I have attended the show and I know that there
were separate categories for a number of different types of needlework.
Last year I saw things entered by Catherine Jordan one of the designers who
teaches at CATS and I saw things done by other stitchers from charts
including Dimples Designs Gabriel Of The Clouds.

Well, I found out I won two ribbons at Woodlawn.

Second place for an original Ukranian embroidery table runner, and an
honorable mention for a stumpworked flower bouquet.

I'm fairly pleased--I know winning any ribbons at this competition is quite
an accomplishment.

How did others do?

Congrats Carol!
My two pieces got honorable mentions. I am very pleased since one was the Loara
Standish sampler, which I would not have entered without much encouragement
from my stitching friends! I don't usually do counted work, so I am very happy
with my results!
