2014 NC State Fair Ribbons Awarded

For the first time ever, I entered handwork (all tatting) in the North Carolina State Fair. Of the three items I entered two won second-place red ribbons.

I entered a pillowcase edging in the Home Furnishings category:

I entered a handkerchief edging in the Clothing category:

This experience was so exciting that I have already started planning projects to enter in the 2015 fair.
