2011 Fair Prizes

Wow - its official!  This year has been my best year yet in the number of ribbons won at the Fair.  I won 11 ribbons (5 - 1st place, 4 - 2nd place and 2 - 3rd place) out of 12 possibles.  The two pics shown previously both won 1st place ribbons. The "Dog" quilt only received a 3rd place, but that's okay!  I think I did a really great job on it and thoroughly enjoyed making it.

If you enjoy Fairs, the Fulton County Fair in Wauseon OH is one of the best in the area.

Getting read for the Fulton County Fair, Ohio

Tina, here! These are just two of the 12 items I've entered in this year's Fulton County Fair in Wauseon OH.  This is my 4th year entering items (especially quilts, I'm allowed three).  I've also entered the Dog quilt which I 've shown everyone previously.  In the past I've usually come home with at least 8 ribbons of some kind and hope this year is no different.  I enjoy showing off my work and get many kind comments on them.
Wish me luck!

Tina's grandson, Aiden has a quilt just for him!

This was a challenge for me as this quilt is made from 2-1/2" squares.
Quilt pattern was found in the magazine "Quiltmaker"

DIANE IS BACK FROM ALASKA

HI GUYS,
I'M BACK FROM ALASKA, AND ON THE SECOND DAY BACK I FINISHED MY FLANNEL QUILT. ON THURS DEB, TINA, MOM AND I TOOK IT UP TO GET QUILTED.  DEB ALSO DROPPED OFF A QUILT TOO, HER BROWN AND BLUE.  CAN'T WAIT TO GET A PICTURE OF THEM.

HAVE MY ORIENTAL ON THE

BED NOW

ALL IN ALL GREAT TRIP, BUT GLAD TO BE HOME.  LOOKING FORWARD TO KELLY'S WEDDING.  HEY SANDI DID YOU LIKE YOUR QUILT, WAITING TO SEE A PICTURE OF IT.

RV pillowcases

Ever since Dee gave me the new pattern for pillowcases (SO easy!!), I've been kindof crazy for pillowcases!  I made a doggy one for Nick, and a baseball one for Bryce, a set with advice on aging from Maxine

for my friend Karen who is turning 5-0 . . . and a set of really cute ones for my RV!

I also finished a quilt for a certain somebody recently, and today I dropped it off with the Quilting Fairy . . . at 4-6 weeks, I should get it back just in time.  I'm not putting a picture here (just in case she reads this blog!), but if certain people want to see it, I'm sure Kris will show it to them!

Look what Sandi found, without looking for it!

 Can find a good quilt shop in the most out of the way places; this was a nice one, too.
I was in the UP for vacation with my Kids and grandkids; not quilting, but.......
