I am, however, going to enter a photo
... this photo, that I took when we visited the Amish country.. I figured with the horses and the buggies, it might win the approval of the judges... it needs to be at least an 8x10 and framed, so I did that yesterday, and it looks pretty nice in a larger copy.The other thing that they do at the fair... is each year they have a contest... they give you a patch of material and a theme, and you need to come up with a quilt square. When your square is done, you mail it in, and they put it into a quilt. Then the squares are judged, after that, everyone who has made a square, has their name placed in a hat, and who ever wins the drawing, gets the quilt. This year's theme was "down on the farm".... well... I saw in the premium book that my square took third this year!!!!! so, I am pretty pleased about that, and cant' wait to see the quilt at the fair and see what others came up with for ideas. I would love to win that quilt, especially this year, since we are moving to our farm!!! time will tell I guess, but I have already decided that I will pick a patch and try next's years quilt as well.
They also have a couple of "in hand" classes that would be great fun to enter Tonka or Mocha in.... but, you need an insurance policy on them.. and I honestly don't have the time right now to get either one ready... next year.. that might be another story!!!!
well, off to see if I can fill up some boxes..............
