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.

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. Also, 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 items 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 getting annoying to see a medium sized piece that was complicated and required lots of skill get nothing or an Honorable Mention while a kit that was large but simple would get a blue ribbon. Maybe next year I'll start entering 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 as the easter part of the country but even a dry 95 is HOT! :-)

Thanks, everyone! I was pretty pleased, to say the least!

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?

Lucky you! Ours is open and things got *really* dusty in there this
year, since it was hot and dry. The lady said they'd even power-washed
the floor the night before the fair started. It was a really fine dust,
too. I was certainly glad my things were either framed or in plastic!
