Well, all the time and effort I put into crocheting and recrocheting my cushion was rewarded yesterday when it was awarded first place in the competition.
My bookmark came first in the beginner section too.
The socks came second. In the critique, the judges said they felt there was too much embellishment. I'm happy enough with second!
The cushion and the socks will go forward to the national competitions, to be held in August. The bookmark won't because it is a beginner article. Let me show you the winner of the embroidery section that will be going on to the national competition:
The light is not wonderful, but you can see how elaborate and beautiful it is.
Hugs and congratulations !!!! Well-deserved :-)
