2013 county fair results |
Remember in December 2011 when Jon Yusoff first told us of Tatting Treasures Unearthed and began sharing her diagrams of Norma Benporath's lace patterns? Her announcement was the beginning of a tat-along wherein Lace Mats were made by tatters all over the globe.
It was great fun participating in the tat-along. Choosing the colors, creating the lace, marveling at 35 other magnificent mats and voting in the secret poll; all of it sheer delight.
Thank you, Jon, for hosting an event that resulted in my first county fair blue ribbon.
That's right, a blue ribbon! Squeee!

2013 county fair ribbon winner - tatting |
I was stunned and nearly hyperventilated when I saw Sw4nkyL4c3r's doily with a red ribbon. (I am not making this up.) So sure was I that hers was a shoe-in for the blue, that I froze, looking around for some other entry that wasn't there -- afraid to look at my own. I was sure that if hers got a red, then mine surely received either white (third) or nothing at all. It was only after I couldn't find any other entry that I peeked at mine. Even then I didn't believe my eyes.
OK, enough of all that. I have since calmed down.
I demonstrated tatting at the county fair this past Sunday and here is a photo taken by a kind bystander.

Congratulations! I am totally oblivious as to when two county fairs close to me are held. I usually hear about them after they're over. Denise keeps saying we should enter. Maybe next year...
