This is the 55th year of the Woodlawn Plantation
Needlework Show in Virginia. People send stitching in from all over the country
to this show. I’ve entered pieces over the years and have never received so
much as an Honorable Mention. My friends convinced me to put The Astronomer by
Myles Pinkney in this year. My husband and I went to today and to my shock
there is a blue sticker on my card. That means I won a first place blue ribbon.
Wow! I’ll get the actual ribbon when I pick up the piece after the show is
over. I am beside myself with joy. I guess I have to start on another HAED now
so I can get another blue ribbon at the 65th year show. Yes, it may
me that long time finish another one.
