2 BLUE RIBBONS YET

[alma]

Just won 2 blue ribbons at our county fair.
How about that?
I got one for a black velvet crazy quilt and another for a pilllow made of all kinds of torn and salvaged embroidery pieces. I sewed them together like a crazy quilt and embroidered all over it just as i did the crazy quilt.
It's the first time i ever entered anything anywhere.
Sue got a prize for an old chair she had painted and decorated. It is terrific. love, alma

Congratulations on winning blue ribbons. I can surely appreciate the work you put into your projects! Learned the skills from my Mom, but I've never had the patience to complete something as large as a crazy quilt. So my hat's off to you both in your patience and the quality of work that it took to earn those ribbons.

Ms. Alma,

That is wonderful! I am so happy for you and Sue. It is nice to have a sister like Sue to do these things with.

God Bless you both.
