I decided to enter this one into our County Fair, and it did really well!

It won 1st place in its class (medium size wall hangings), it won Reserve Champion (2nd Place) in Overall Counted Work, and it won a Special Award for Outstanding Work on 18 Count or Smaller :) Woo hoo!

I really, really encourage you all to enter something you complete in your local fair - they give wonderful critiques and suggestions on how to do it better next time, and it's so neat to see all of the entries! That said, I am glad I wasn't up against a lot of the pieces I have seen on this forum, because I wouldn't have stood a chance! Lol :)
