Congrats, Sue. John Kazmeier seems to always be the one with big
ribbons in
the samplers - he's a fabulous stitcher. Montpelier didn't give you
free
entry ticket as someone who was showing? I'm surprised - most of the
shows
provide a free admission if you've entered a piece - maybe you could
ask.

Ellice,

Montpelier Needlearts keeps a list of exhibitor names at the front door.
Exhibitors can come and see the show as many times as they want for
free. There is no ticket since it is not a "one time deal" which is
practiced at Woodlawn.

The person who organizes the show is a stitcher and designer herself and
she has made the show Very stitcher friendly. Panels were bought so that
people can see the needlework up close. The only thing the show does not
have are independently locked cases, therefore those items requiring a
case are put in the archeology artifacts case of Montpelier mansion.

I hope people will submit more to this show. Complaints people often
bring up about Woodlawn (e.g. cost to enter pieces, cost to see the
show, ability to look at items up close) are eliminated here.

I submit entries to both shows because I want to support such items
continuing in my area.

And if I get a ribbon (which I did this time at Montpelier!), it is
always a nice bonus.





I don't think there is any show like Montpelier/Woodlawn near me. I would
love to be able to see more of what other people do than I currently can.

Tara -

Congrats on the ribbon!

I didn't know about the free entry for exhibitors...it never dawned on
me to ask! Next time I'll know.

ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT MONTPELIER
For anyone who hasn't heard...next year the Needlearts show will be the
entire month of November (2011), and the special theme is "Along the
Chesapeake Bay."

Now everyone can plan accordingly!

cheers,
Sue

Cheryl,

You can always come down here. Woodlawn runs the entire month of
March.
