Fair Report 2017

Oh My!  I received an embarrassment of riches from the Durham Fair.

This was the first year that I entered any quilts in my local fair.

Alice Payne won Big and I was so so happy for this quilt.

You may remember that I was a little (okay, a lot)  heartbroken that the quilt wasn't good enough for the AQS show in Lancaster or Paducah.  I know it's old fashioned, but I know the work and love that Alice put into her quilt in 1859.

This beautiful quilt won Best In Show.

I also entered Remembering Abe and my Asian Flower Garden quilts.

Here are some photos from the fair.   Many have already found a way onto FB and IG.

I caught the Llama competition during lunch after working in the admissions booth.

 I ate this three days in a row.....delicious and worth it!

Canning was really big this year.

 I love the animal exhibits, especially the babies.

Oh My Gourds!!

How Stinking Cute is this food vendor?

Sunset over the fairground.  No filter - no kidding.

I have to say this is the first time in a long time I felt happy and proud to be an American.

I'm determined to finish this Hexie table runner in time for Halloween this year.

have a great week!
