Well, the Fair was a resounding success for me this year.
I
entered 3 items in different divisions and classes. I won 3 ribbons:
a 2nd place for the Double weave sample
a 1st place for the
Frauberger triangle ,
and Best of Show for the heart basket. Who knew?
In my opinion, almost all of the pieces I saw in each area
were very well made. The judging must have been quite difficult! I did not
consult the guidelines I’ve seen for judges, I tried to just do the best I
could and be creative. Who knew? Oh, and here's the other side of the square:
I was asked if there was enough interest for a tatting
Division next year. I think so. The Study Group continues to grow. I need to do
more networking to keep building on that success. You see, tatters usually come
from the ranks of Embroidery and Lace artists. There is an Embroidery Guild
here. I need to connect with them to do things properly.
Speaking of Study Groups, the Organ Study Group is doing
well. I continue to open the studio from 11 AM to 2 PM on Wednesdays and there
are people coming over to explore the organ and organ music. Again, more
networking is needed. I have my work cut out for me there!
Lots to think about, lots to do, and lots to create!
Huge haul, Mel !!! Congratulations :-)))))
ReplyDeleteLove your creative double sided edging to go with the double weave square.
Keep thinking, doing & creating,... and inspiring us :-)
If you look closely at that edging, I muffed how many repeats for one layer. Then, I followed the improvisation rule: Repeat the mistake and people will think it's supposed to be that way!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! That's very well done. Good luck with getting a tatting section next year
ReplyDeleteThe Adventure continues. I've discovered a chapter of the Embroidery Guild here. More people to meet and tat with!
DeleteCongratulations on your winnings!! :) You did a wonderful job on all your pieces!!! :)
