WOW! But be your fantastic genes that are coming out in your granddaughter, Ritzy!

I didn't know about 4H, but I got introduced to the state fair system in 2002 when a friend who I visited during my only trip to the US insisted that I brought a piece of needlework with me (Elizabethan blackwork). It was part of 'Craft Adventure' in Springfield, the MA state fair. I expected to take the piece back home with me at the end of my holiday, but it had to stay for the New England Show a couple of months later (the curse - big grin - of getting a ribbon - my only one in anything).

And to get quickly back on track: That before my first ever exploit into quilting. But I returned from that trip with a rotary cutter in my suitcase. I had never seen one before that time.

....................... Yes!! I'm back in topic!!

Please bear with me as I am off topic again. So, I was at the fair this morning and went to see how the other grands did with their project. DGD--the Whining Queen--not only received a first place ribbon, but she received a Champion(purple ribbon) and an invitation(orange ribbon) to go to the State Fair.
Lorchen, since 4H is trying to encourage kids to get better at their projects they usually all get a ribbon of some kind. Blue(1st) if they have done well, Red(2nd) if not so well. Only first place can vie for Champion and only Champions can be invited to go to the State competition. Do you think she is excited about doing more? Yep.
I said, "you know what that means" and she said,"yes, I get to go to State". I said, "no, that means no whining next year". She laughed.
