When we returned from Alaska, I began a project that became a great memory of our trip--a table runner made from fabric I had bought up in a quilt shop in Sitka. The fabric pieces were all shades of blue, and prints of the Alaskan state flower, the forget-me-not, so I thought the table runner would be a great way to never forget our Alaskan journey. I finished it in time for the local fair, and entered it in the quilt show, at which I volunteer. Imagine my surprise, when I saw a red ribbon on it! We have People's Choice Awards, no other judging, and no other prizes but the hand-made quilted and embroidered ribbons, so I really treasure this prize. Now I have to quilt some placemats to match.
