County Fair Results

It was a good year at the fair. I got first place ribbons on all my entries.

This is the afghan. I like the way they displayed it.

My quilt looked so cool hanging up with every one else's this year.

Here is my shawl. This didn't make me very happy. I knew I should have taken something to display it on. Lesson learned!

Picture number one.

Here was the surprise of the year. I got a judges choice on this picture. Wahoo!!!

Fair Entries

This year I entered 5 things in the fair. I went out to the fair grounds for lunch and put them in. I had two photos taken in Virginia, my Tunisian crochet afghan, knitted lace shawl and my first quilt.

They had a raffle going for the home arts department this year. It is for a digital camera. I entered even tough I never win anything.

White Shawl Finished

I finished my white shawl in March. It has been sitting in my craft room since then waiting for me to block it and put the fringe on. It was time to finish it for the fair.

I'm such a procrastinator. I knew the fringe was going to be very tedious It was. It took me 2 1/2 hours to put on 100" of it. It looks great. I'm just glad it is finally done.

Guest Room Afghan

I have been working on my guest room afghan for almost a year. I decided a couple of weeks ago that I wanted to get it finished for the county fair.

I have been diligently working on it when my husband and I watch tv at night. Let me tell you it hasn't been easy. This think is really heavy, and it is 100 degrees outside being summer. The sacrifices we make for our craft! Tonight I finished it. It is a queen size and huge. I love it though.
