Ribbons, Awards, Competition Entries
I received my very first blue ribbon from the Alameda County fair. Not only did they give me a ribbon, they then sent me $8.00 in the mail, and I figured I could make a living at this quilting thing. Since then, I've collected many more ribbons, and for a while, had them all displayed in my sewing studio (above), until I decided they were distracting, and there just wasn't room for any more ribbons, so took them all down and put them in the attic; but I still love to enter competitions and challenges, and get those beautiful ribbons and that lovely money in the mail. I appreciate each and every one, and everyone who puts on a competition. Take a moment and read a my essay called Jealousy is a Terrible Thing, just for fun. Here is a list of the awards I have won (all that I can remember, anyway).
