Today was the Annual Village Show and so I had been furiously hand quilting to finish my New York Beauty quilt. I wanted to enter it in the show and only just managed the last few stitches on the binding last night. But my efforts proved worth it as my quilt won a 'First' place in the Needlework section and a 'Best Exhibit in the Handicraft Section'. It was great to have a judge who appreciates patchwork and quilting as a lot of work has gone into this quilt.
(This is not a great photo, but I didn't have time to get any shots in any decent light as it has rained all day and it was only finished last night - perhaps a decent photo to follow this week.)
My first ever doll also won a 'First'. (I like this judge LOL):
And one of my bags also won a 'First'. (I REALLY really like this judge! LOL)
The children also did well with their exhibits and enjoyed receiving some prize money.
My eldest son was very proud of my trophy for: 'The Most points in the Handicraft Section' which made Mummy very happy indeed.

Hi Karol-Ann, I loved your NY beauty when I first saw it. I am happy you won a prize for it. Keep up the good work! btw I am still wondering about your hats. How did they go over? Like your doll and bag as well. And always your countryside.
Many congratulations Karol Ann. I'm just back from holidays and catching up with emails and blogs. I can see you haven't lost your time. Your rewards were well deserved.
