I heard a third-hand story about a difficult woman who entered several items (not quilts) in the local fair, carefully distributing them between various categories so she would win more ribbons. She INSISTED (loudly) that a copy of the magazine article that had featured one of her items be displayed with the item. The judge saw the magazine article, declared that the woman was no longer an amateur, disqualified all her items from the non-professional categories, and moved all of them to the SINGLE professional category. Just goes to show, pride goeth before a fall.
