Its that time of year again - the County Fair


Yup, it is that time of year again - the county fair. I had a good year in the domestics divisions. I got 4 blue ribbons!



But the what I really enjoyed was once again seeing the Budweiser Clydesdales! Boy those are gorgeous animals. We saw them draw the wagon and then watched as they were unharnessed and put away for a rest. And the Busweiser dog was even with them!

An update with my life

Well not much to tell that is exciting, but I"m SOOOO BUSY with work I"ve had no play time. All work and no play is making this girl very, very cranky. I threw a hissy fit in front of the kids friends last night. I"ve just had it with everything! Will this ever stop? I just don't know.


But on the quilting news front - even though I"ve not had time to "play" I did take a few minutes and enter the county fair with things I had done. It was another very good year for me. I think I"d be embarrassed to tell you how many ribbons I won, but I will say a lot!

Very top is my Smore Sunbonnet Sue doll I made a few years ago. I never remembered to enter it in the fair - I always think quilts. So last year I made a note on my list for this year. And look it! I got a first place for the Doll Category and Grand Champion for the whole Domestic Arts - General Category! My first every Champion. I was excited even if it wasn't a quilt.



And I got quite a few 1st places and down. Thought I would share some of them here.
