Excellent work!
Thanks RagingMoon. Each year I try to enter as many categories as I can. I like to support the local exhibition by doing what I can to plump up the Weaving/Spinning and NeedleArts sections. Even as a young child traipsing after my grandmother at the PNE I've loved looking at the handiwork of others. I'd hate for it to die out as people get too busy for what they consider to be "a dying art".
I'm very happy for you, Marlene! Your work is exquisite, and you deserve the recognition.

Thanks Donna. I appreciate the time you took to pop on over and to comment.
I am super impressed with the wide variety of your stitching skills....needlework, knitting, weaving, spinning, sewing....
Congratulations on your well deserved winnings!
Thanks Speattle. I love fibre arts of all kinds and spend a lot of time with them.
