Community Service Category
The Durham Fair Needlework Department received an Award of Distinction for Competitive Exhibits for this unique class in 2017. This is an International Recognition from the International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE). The IAFE Competitive Exhibits contest provides fairs with a unique collaboration experience, allowing them to critique competitive exhibits while strengthening that vital aspect of fairs, internationally. We have donated hundreds of items through this category to support local charities and we are gracious for your support.
In the Community Service Category, the Durham Fair Needlework Committee, along with the Durham Fair Foundation, is sponsoring a “Dress a Girl Around the World”. There will be 2 new categories for this. For more information about this organization please visit their website: dressagirlaroundtheworld.com
Patterns for the dress and skirt are listed below:
The Needlework Department will again feature the “Quilt of Valor Quilt Block.”
- The Quilt of Valor Quilt Book will be used by QOV State Coordinators to help fill outstanding requests for a Quilt of Valor not covered by local groups and will ease the waiting list of requests.
- The 2023 Quilt block square is The Split Back Star Block. Click here for the instructions
In addition, we will continue to collect items for cancer patients, homeless, veterans, and children in crisis. This includes chemo caps, art bras, prayer/serenity shawls, lap blankets, hats, mittens, scarves, socks, and pillows. Please consider making an item to enter in this year’s fair, or get together with friends, church groups, or community organizations and donate them. We will be collecting them and displaying them at the fair and then distributing them to local charities that support this effort. Although an exhibitor can enter only one item per category, participants in our drive can donate as many items as they want.
