Needlework New Brunswick, the province's leading fibre arts organization,
is proud to launch two new prizes in connection with Canada's longest running agricultural fair. Fibre
artists have a chance to win the award for General Excellence as well as the Golden Needle award during the Kings County Agricultural
Fair.
The General Excellence title will be awarded to the person who has the highest number of points for their
fibre arts entries. The Golden Needle title will be presented to the person who enters work in the most disciplines at the
event. Needlework New Brunswick is pleased to salute the role fibre arts have played in Canadian history as well as the quality
of needlework being produced today.
Congratulations to the 2009 winners of this year's Needlework New Brunswick prizes!
Laura Stockdale of Drury's Cove claimed the Golden Needle prize for her entries in the most needlework
classes.
Marion Anderson of Wards Creek takes home the General Excellence award for having the highest overall
