The Montgomery County Fair ended on August 20. All six items I entered received ribbons! Although I didn't do as well with some items as I would have liked, I'm still happy they all got something.
The Otakon dress was entered as a "day dress" rather than a costume (you're only allowed one entry per category). It received a fourth place ribbon.
The Smithson Gown was entered as a "formal ensemble" and got a third place ribbon.
Diana's "Ocean Goddess" Otakon costume got a third place ribbon.
The tie I made for Bob for his part of the Smithson gala outfit got a second place.
The vest I made for Bob got a first place ribbon!

And I am most proud of my entry in the Accessories department: the diaper bag I made for my neighbor. It took first place AND a Champion ribbon!
Next year I'm determined to enter more items. I had wanted to enter some of the things I made for Diana during the year but completely forgot to ask her to give them to me in time. Oh well! Just another excuse to make more stuff!
Congrats. Don't forget to put this exciting news in The Nimble Thimble!
