I'm so happy & surprised! I won a ribbon!

I entered a quilt into the county fair - this is the first time I've ever entered any sort of competition of any kind, ever in my entire life, and today when we went to the fair I was so surprised to find a ribbon pinned to my quilt!!

At first I couldn't find my quilt and I was thinking, "Wow, it was so awful they didn't even hang it!" But then I found it and saw the ribbon and was so surprised!

It's a 4th place ribbon, which isn't THAT impressive but I really didn't think I would win anything at all - I just wanted to enter to sort of put myself out there. And there were a LOT of really nice quilts in my category (novice, machine quilted, machine pieced) there so it's not like I was just the worst out of only 4 entries, LOL. I'm really excited & encouraged...definitely going to enter again next year!

Here it is, hanging at the fair:

Congratulations! Your quilt is lovely!

WOW, beautiful quilt!!! Congratulations !!!

What a thrill! Congratulations on taking the leap and entering a quilt - it definitely deserves a ribbon.

Any time you get a ribbon, it is impressive. Sometimes there are a lot of quilts in the pieced category so to get a ribbon is awesome. Great quilt by the way!

Lovely quilt, and congratulations!!!

Oh good for you, like the quilt. Barb

Congrats on your ribbon for a wonderful quilt!

It is a beautiful quilt, and I can assure that 4th place does mean something, no matter how many quilts are entered. I've helped the judge several times at a local fair, and they have been instructed not to even give all the ribbons if the quilts don't deserve them.
