Tiburon resident Nancy Sumner took home 11 ribbons — including six first-place honors — for her quilts at this year’s Marin County Fair.


Each piece Sumner submitted earned recognition, as she also racked up three second-place ribbons and two third-place honors across three divisions: Tangle Art, Quilts and Art & Miniature Quilts. Three of her entries received recognition from the Mount Tam Quilt Guild, which promotes quilt-making in Marin County.


Sumner was one of about three-dozen locals who were awarded prizes in the competitive exhibits of the annual fair, held June 30-July 4 at the Marin fairgrounds in San Rafael.
