Placed

Yesterday I was in Kuruman, an historic town a couple of hours west of here, for our Circle Conference. Judgement time for competition articles. My five articles were all placed, so I'm happy about that - first for knitting and crochet, second for beginner embroidery and one beaded bag, third for the other beaded bag.

One thing I really enjoyed was listening to the judge explaining some of her decisions. For instance, some of the beaded bags that weren't placed were too small according to the given requirements.

My knitting, crochet and flowery beaded bag will go through to the national competition. I brought home the embroidery, because it was in the beginner section, and the drawstring beaded bag, because only one entry per person can go through. Here's a picture of Corlie van Zyl's advanced embroidery that will be going to the national competition:
