I usually have a tough time waiting the week between
dropping off my challenge quilt at the fairgrounds and finding out what the judges
thought of my quilt when the state fair actually opens. Not this time. I was
pretty disappointed with the way this year’s quilt turned out. I figured if I
was lucky, I’d get a white ribbon for third place – I have lots of those
already. There was a strong possibility the new quilt wouldn’t be awarded a ribbon
at all. I should have taken pictures of the other quilts. If you’d seen them, I’m
sure you’d agree than many of them put my poor efforts to shame. Don’t get me
wrong; I’m REALLY happy the judges liked my entry better than I do. I’m just convinced I owe
this ribbon less to any talent or skill on my part than to sheer dumb luck.
