Patterns, patchworks and projects
So many stitches went into this prize winning entry at the Faulkner County Fair, held recently in central Arkansas. The maker, Ann Wilson, is giving her Olde World Map to her husband to hang in his office.
Have you entered any of your stitching in a contest lately? If so, I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment on this post, and if you got a Best of Show like Anne did, congratulations.

How to Make a Quick and Easy Table Runner with Strips
I have won a couple of blue ribbons for several of my quilts shown at small local shows. 😎
Many years ago I entered a cross stitch contest in Cross Stitch Magazine. The piece was a covered bridge in the Bridges of Madison County series. This was the same year the movie was released. I stitched this as a gift to a friend and jokingly told her if I won the contest I would split the money with her also. To my utter astonishment, and hers, I won. I had to honor my comment and she and I were $250 each richer. This has been my only winning contest ever!!
