Bragging Rights

Remember the quilts I took to the county fair on Monday—well today is the first day I’ve been back out to the fairgrounds to see all the quilts.  I won both a purple champion ribbon and a blue first place ribbon on my two quilts!!!!   I am thrilled to say the least!!

Here are some of the other gorgeous quilts displayed at the fair:

This belongs to Bette, one of my quilt retreat buddies. 

This one belongs to Bonnie—the woman who spearheads all the fine art displays at the fair including quilting.

This one’s for you Paulette, all wool, just gorgeous, made by one of our quilt shop workers, Betsy.

And Barb’s patriotic quilt which I quilted for her. 

This afternoon Bonnie had arranged a demonstration—how to make a ten minute table runner—we timed our teacher and by george, it did only take 10 minutes and so cute with many variations.  I then demonstrated a little make and take—fabric flowers with button centers.  It was enjoyable and everyone got to take home their finished product. 

As we were leaving the fair we ran into Geoff, Nancy and Shine the puppy.  Along came Denny and Ellen with Ned the puppy—those two dogs had so much fun!

A very, very good day in Montana!!  It is raining as I write this—we are praying for lots of rain!!
