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.

Woo! I'll be looking for it when I go!
Much deserved!
Congratulations on the ribbon. I@m kinda jealous, we don't have them in the same way in the UK (not that I ever finish anything to enter anyway), he is well deserving on his ribbon.
Congratulations! This is such an amazing finish. Beautiful work!
OMG you totally deserve that, Jan! Congratulations!
Congratulations! You are a stitching star!
WOW!! Not just a blue ribbon, but a Woodlawn blue ribbon. Congratulations really aren't enough, but CONGRATULATIONS!!
Oh Jan, it looks amazing! And first place, I'm so happy for you!
I've been in the past, but I'm not sure I'll make it there this year. But if I do, I'll be looking for it.
Jan, congratulations! It is a truly stunning piece and I enjoyed seeing it at Woodlawn.
My mom and I "ooooh'ed and ahhhhh'ed" over this piece at the show. Amazing work, truly. Congrats on your ribbon! Well deserved for sure!
So sorry I didn't congratulate you sooner Jan. Way to go it is a well deserved Blue Ribbon.
