When we were in Virginia, I was part of a stitching group that met once a week. The ladies in that group encouraged me to enter something in the Woodlawn Needlework Show (a huge show that draws entries from all over the country .. this year is the 49th year for the show) in Alexandria, Virginia.
I entered my three miniature needlepoint pillows and won second place in my category!
Recently, there was a local art show sponsored by the
Dallas Business Council for the Arts where companies host internal competitions and the winners go to a big show at Northpark Center here in Dallas.
Matt's secretary (who knows that I do a lot of stitching) encouraged me to enter something, so I sent in my miniature Van Gogh needlepoint of Fourteen Sunflowers. I won first place in the needlepoint category!
It's fun to get a bit of "outside feedback" for my hobby!
